In 1905, Marin benefactors William and Elizabeth K In 1905, Marin benefactors William and Elizabeth Kent (Kentfield, Kent Middle School) purchased over 600 acres of what was then Redwood Canyon (it’s now Muir Woods) for $45,000. At the time, William famously told Elizabeth, “If we lose all our money but save the trees, it will be worth it.” The Kents believed the best way to save the redwoods was to donate the acreage to the US. Government. 

Yet it wasn’t easy! Local water interests wanted to dam the canyon and create a reservoir for southern Marin. To the rescue came Gifford Pinchot, a Yale classmate of Kent’s and the first head of what is now the National Park Service. Working together in 1907, Kent and Pinchot convinced President Teddy Roosevelt that his recently signed Antiquities and Monuments Act allowed him to designate “objects of historical and scientific interest” as national monuments. So in January of 1908, Muir Woods National Monument, named for Kent’s acquaintance the naturalist John Muir, became a reality. Then in 1911, as the photo of Muir Woods Inn attests, President Roosevelt’s second wife Edith visited Muir Woods as guests of the Kents. Unfortunately, the inn was later destroyed by fire and never rebuilt.
