This Month’s Talk:
Lake Tahoe's Early Maritime History
From the 1860s to the 1930s, land transportation at Lake Tahoe was limited to some trails and even fewer roads that were covered with snow for at least five months of the year. "The Lake" was the highway upon which steamers transported residents, tourists, logs, groceries, the mail, and everything else needed by homes and resorts around the Lake. Nancy Stromswold, Archive Manager at the Gatekeepers Museum, will share the story of the steamers, people, and places that are Tahoe's early maritime history.
Stromswold has been a full-time West Shore resident since 2013; part-time since she was a child. She is passionate about Tahoe history, its communities, and the people who love the lake as much as she does.
