Cultural and Historic Preservation

Funding Needed: $64,464

While exploring the park you will discover some of the more fascinating stories that make up California’s history.

There are historic cabins, traditional American Indian structures and sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

By keeping this history alive visitors learn about a past way of life that can tell us much about ourselves as cultures and our relationships with nature.
