Stop 1 - ASL - Outside the Visitor Center Back Door: Welcome and Introduction
Transcript
This is Stop number 1 Welcome to John Muir National Historic Site. This tour explores the historic grounds and orchards of the main park site. There are multiple stops on the tour, and throughout the site there are signs indicating a cell phone stop number. John Muir was an explorer and writer, known today for his work in preserving nature. Later in life, Muir was a fruit farmer and a businessman. His success as a fruit rancher provided affluence that supported his family and travels and allowed him time to write. It also provided him access to a political arena where he was able to build support for his preservation efforts. Much of what Muir wrote on preserving and protecting natural areas was completed during this time. Learn more about Muir the rancher and the agricultural history of the site with this orchard tour. Please move toward the easy access path to reach the next stop.
