Sequoia National Park, America's second national park, was established on this day in history, Sept. 25, 1890. The aim of the park was to protect the sequoia tree.
Sequoia National Park was explicitly created to protect a living organism: Sequoiadendron giganteum, or the "giant sequoia" tree. Christine Rousselle is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
Just a week after Sequoia National Park was created, it was expanded — once again, through legislation signed by President Harrison.
