Sierra Club

— Founded 1892 —

LeConte Memorial Lodge was built by the Sierra Club in 1803/04 in honor of the world-renowned scientist and charter Sierra Club member Joseph LeConte who died near here in 1901. The memorial served as Yosemite Valley's first public information center and as the northern terminus if the John Muir Trail.

Originally located in Curry Village, LeConte Memorial Lodge was designed for the Sierra Club by Berkeley architect John White. It was subsequently dismantled and rebuilt on this location in 1919.

Since 1904 Sierra Club members have provided park interpretation at the memorial including educational programs, a small conservation library, childrens' area and programs, and interactive historical exhibits.
