Throughout the country, state parks, historic sites, homes, buildings, museums, and similar institutions are struggling to continue operating. Because of general financial problems, many of these institutions are operating on a reduced schedule or in danger of closing. Some are being forced to sell off artifacts and property. Many will not weather these hard times without your help. Places Earth urges everyone to support these vital and important public resources any way you can. Please donate your treasure, time, and talent. Write to your governor and other elected officials telling them to find a way to keep state parks open. It will be your loss.

Yosemite Chapel
| The Yosemite Chapel is a non-denominational place of worship. It was built in 1879 and is the oldest building in Yosemite Natinal Park, now on a new foundation and in a new location. It was originally west of its current location at the base to the 4-mile trail to Glacier Point. In the current location, it was part of the old Yosemite Village and is now the last remaining building of the old Village which was moved about 1950. The Yosemite Chapel is a National Registered Historic Site, the first of five buildings in the park that are National Registered Historic Sites. |
