Museum and Old Native Village

The Yosemite Museum is a great place to learn about the cultural history of Yosemite's native Miwok and Paiute people. The museum has displays that interpret the cultural history from 1850 to the present, with demonstrations of stone tool making, basket-weaving, beadwork, and traditional games. Visitors can also explore the outdoor Indian Village of Ahwahnee, which features a self-guiding accessible trail and significant plants and structures. The museum's gallery exhibits art pieces from the Yosemite Museum collection and other artists. Families can enjoy the interactive exhibits and learn about the history and culture of the area
