More Information
Details: The Site preserves the 17 room mansion where the naturalist John Muir lived from 1890 to his death in 1914. While living in Martinez, Muir accomplished many things: he battled to prevent Yosemite National Park's Hetch Hetchy Valley from being dammed, served as the first president and one of the founders of the Sierra Club, played a role in the creation of several national parks, and wrote many articles and several books expounding on the virtues of conservation and the natural world.
