The Sierra Club-run LeConte Memorial Lodge, a National Historic Landmark, was built by the Sierra Club in 1903-04. The unique structure honors eminent University of California geologist Joseph LeConte, an early Director of the Sierra Club who died in the Valley in 1901. The Sierra Club provided the Valley's first public information center, first at a small cottage in the old Yosemite Village, and then at the LeConte Memorial Lodge. The Sierra Club has operated the rough hewn granite and wood Tudor-style as a public Memorial since 1904 presenting and promoting the conservation ethic through public programs, educational displays and a library.

This Group is for visitors, volunteers, and friends of the LeConte Memorial Lodge in Yosemite National Park.

It is a way for people to interact outside the summer they spent in Yosemite enjoying LeConte Memorial Lodge and other sites.
