The Giant Forest Museum in Sequoia National Park is housed in a renovated historic Market building and offers insights into the natural and human history of the Giant Forest. Completed in 2001, this museum provides an introduction to the giant sequoias and surrounding meadows for visitors of all ages. The building, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, also supports educational efforts through the Beetle Rock Educational Center. There is also accessible parking, restrooms, and trail access makes this museum a key starting point for exploring the majestic Giant Forest.
