In the High St the John Muir Birthplace Museum is really worth visiting. It is free and really informative on this pioneer of conservation and ecology. He also was an influential writer on nature and our place in it.

“When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.”

“Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.”

“The power of imagination makes us infinite.”
