The Pioneer Yosemite History Center is dedicated to preserving the rich narrative of individuals who played pivotal roles in the establishment and development of Yosemite National Park. Located in Wawona, the center features historic structures from various periods, each representing a unique chapter in the park's storied past.

Visitors can enjoy self-guided tours of the building exteriors, as well as summer activities such as ten-minute wagon rides and horseback riding from nearby stables.
