SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – The Lake Tahoe Historical Society is hosting another Tahoe History Talks on the Beach on Tuesday, July 21, from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Lakeview Commons in South Lake Tahoe.
This week’s talk is a first-person storytelling program by local authors and historians David and Gayle Woodruff. They will recount their so-called “cherished” family vacations, sharing vivid memories of monuments of mystery, culinary curiosities, cross-country chain smoking…and the many small mishaps (and triumphs) that shaped each journey. Through stories drawn from their own childhood vacations and family lore, the program blends humor, reflection, and regional color to illuminate how everyday people experienced the open road—turning personal anecdotes into a window into a shared American past.
The program is free, though donations to the Historical Society are greatly appreciated.
Thank you to Tahoe Production House for the use of a new sound system through the rest of the weekly history talk season. Next week, July 28, is a Chautauqua performance of Charly Parkhurst and Emma Lawrence, and the final one will feature South Lake Tahoe urbanized black bear expert Toogee Sielsch on the history of bears on the South Shore, and how to protect them and your homes.
