Yosemite national park has been home to many different cultures over many different centuries. Several different Native American Indian tribes called it home and when the west was being settled it served as a quaint location to host writers and artists into the untamed land.
Yosemite draws millions of people every year to see the rich landscape and awe at the natural wonders. The history in this place is vibrant not made only by the beautiful scenery but by the people who have called this place home.
Unlike most national parks, Yosemite is studied by scientists not so much for its natural wonders but for civilizations that lived here before. Archaeologists have found valuable clues letting them know how those who lived in Yosemite before us lived their everyday lives.
The history of Yosemite is so rich that in 1861, President Abraham Lincoln made it a national park forever conserving its beauty and history.
