This visitor center is dedicated to the memory of David Gaines. David, a prominent ornithologist, fell in love with Mono Lake when he began studying the bird life here. In 1978 he founded the Mono Lake Committee with the goal of preserving the Mono Lake ecosystem. He played a significant role in the designation of the Mono Basin National Forest Scenic Area. David had a passion for teaching people and sharing the wonders of the Mono Basin. This visitor center will help accomplish this dream.
