y LE CONTE MEMORIAL LODGE 

 4^— Down-valley from Camp Curry, 

 ^* directly across the road from the 

 Housekeeping Camp, is the LeConte 

 Memorial Lodge built in 1903 by the 

 Sierra Club, first at Camp Curry, but 

 later moved to its present site. The me- 

 morial commemorates the work of Joseph 

 LeConte, a famed geologist. Here the 

 Sierra Club maintains a mountaineering 

 and conservation library and exhibits 

 and furnishes information about rock 

 climbing. 



V OLD VILLAGE. The Old Village 

 <~q started in the late 1 8 50's and was 



" the center of activity prior to 1916. 

 It boasted such enterprises as photo- 

 graphic studios, general store, post of- 

 fice, church, park headquarters, resi- 

 dences, hotels and saloons. At the pres- 

 ent time (1959) the Old Village has a 

 church and movie pavilion. It is planned 

 to remove all man-made structures 

 eventually and return the area to its 

 natural state. Historical markers will 

 then show former building sites.
