Ransohoff Yosemite Journey

This home movie from the Ransohoff Collection, Can 1-5, captures a family trip to Yosemite National Park in the late 1920s or early 1930s. Filmed by the Ransohoffs, San Francisco department store owners, it likely features stunning vistas of Yosemite Valley, waterfalls, and granite peaks, alongside family moments. Preserved in the Prelinger Archives, this silent reel offers a personal glimpse into early 20th-century leisure travel and the natural splendor of one of America’s iconic wildernesses.
