Ever since 1921, the Evergreen Lodge has been a vibrant part of the Yosemite landscape. In the early years, the Evergreen was a post office, restaurant and general store. Lore has it that moonshine was brewed in the basement of the lodge during Prohibition and illegal slot machines operated in the tavern. To learn more about the Evergreen’s storied history, watch the Evergreen Centennial Video on the History & Philosophy page of our website! #evergreenlodge #yosemite #historical
