Fort Monroe (Yosemite)

Close up of 1897 USGS map of Yosemite showing location of Fort Monroe.

Fort Monroe is a historic site in Yosemite National Park. There are no longer remnants; it is a location only. The fort was not a military fort, but started as a stage station. As various buildings were added or demolished, the general location acquired and kept the name well into the automobile age. Prior to the building of the Wawona Tunnel in 1933, the Wawona Road passed next to it, at the point where the start of Pohono Trail was located. (The Pohono Trail includes part of what was the old Wawona Road.)
