Muir Woods National Monument
Until the nineteenth century, most northern California coastal valleys were covered with redwood trees.. The redwood forest along Redwood Creek in today's Muir Woods was not logged due to its inaccessibility.
Noting that Redwood Creek contained one of the San Francisco Bay Area's last uncut stands of old-growth redwood, Congressman William Kent and his wife, Elizabeth Thacher Kent, bought 295 acres here for $45,000 in 1905. To protect the redwoods the Kents donated the land to the United States Federal Government and, in 1908, President Theodore Roosevelt declared it a national monument. Roosevelt suggested naming the area after Kent, but Kent wanted it named for conservationist John Muir.
