Before heading into Yosemite make a stop in Groveland to see the Groveland Yosemite Gateway Museum. They have displays and 1/20th scale models of the people and places that shaped life in the Motherlode over the last two centuries. Rich with history the museum will impart a feeling of respect for the hardworking folk that carved out homesteads from the wilderness. The interactive “Please Pet” animal pelt exhibit is sure to make a pleasing impression for the curious. The friendly people at the museum and adjacent library will help you with genealogy research or other projects, so drop in and say hello.
