Really cool historical site. Learned more about John Muir and had some fun. Even the kids enjoyed this stop. Entry is free, yes thays right I said free. There is a short movie about John Muir life and legacy as well as a guided tour. Very interesting piece of California, as well as USA history. East to find, and free entry, as well as free but small parking lot.
Crazy how we stumbled on this returning home from visiting the Marin Headlands but here goes.
I knew a little something about John Muir and his legacy including his cofounding of the Sierra Club. My university has his entire library and collection of written works which are accessible online.
He got to write about his adventures and political advocacy with the comfort of the mansion, property, and his wife's family resources and friends support.
I did learn more about his later years and it's interesting to think about how far he walked with what a piece of bread in his pocket from Martinez to Yosemite. He traveled to various continents.
I had a blast ringing the bell!
It is a perfect place to spend a family weekend morning. Free admission and dogs allowed outside the main house and the adobe. Kids (young and older one as well) will enjoy the junior ranger quest! All together you will discover the beginning of National Park Service, you will admire John Muir and become a naturalist yourself.
So, it was very special going to the home of the father of state parks. Because of this man we have a lot of nature preserved across the country. His life was a mess but his heart was well placed. Every time I go to a state park now I'll be feeling more connected to it.
It was such a fun experience at John Muir NHS. My 11 year old loved it! I loved it, too. He got to ring the bell up in the attic once he was done with the scavenger hunting. We learned a lot about John and his family. It's a
family-friendly fun zone. Highly recommend!
It was something special visiting the Father of the National Parks home in Martinez California! Its conveniently located across a 7-11 I believe thats where he would pick up a sixer and a hot pizza before heading home!!
Great displays. Very good movie about John Muir and this facility. Store offers great John Muir book collection. Walk through the mansion and grounds.
I really liked the movie and the audio tour as well as the tour given inside the house. Learned so much and enjoyed my visit.
