When Yosemite became a national park, its natural environment was protected. In addition, more than 40 structures were protected by the National Register of Historic Places. This included buildings such as the Ahwahnee Hotel and the Tioga Pass Entrance Station.
In October 2014, 14 more places have been added to the register. They were chosen because of their rustic architecture, and their significance in American history and culture.
