Description

The images in the Mariposa County Library's image gallery were generously provided by local museums, pioneer families, and historians. The collections depict varied aspects of life through the years in the foothills and mountains of Mariposa County, California. Images include famous locales, small town events, Native Californians, family portraits and well-known individuals. Some of the photograph collections are quite large, and are represented here by only a few selected images.
