## Background (Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0, shortened)

The Giant Forest Village–Camp Kaweah Historic District is located in Sequoia National Park.  It is notable as one of two registered historic districts in the park that were largely demolished as part of National Park Service efforts to mitigate the impact of park visitor facilities on the park's giant sequoia groves. They were in a vernacular National Park Service Rustic and American Craftsman Bungalow style.
Established in 1926 as a satellite facility for the main Giant Forest Lodge development, Camp Kaweah  and Giant Forest Village provided lodging, concessions and camping for visitors to the Giant Forest grove.
