Lake Tahoe Historical Museum

I've been wanting to go for a while. Was a great Saturday afternoon outing while my parents were in town. If you live in town, check it out when you have the chance. It's awesome to connect with the history of the amazing place we get to call home.

Relatively small, but very interesting information on the history of Lake Tahoe and the men and women who founded the area.. The video was also very informative. If you have any interest in how Lake Tahoe came to be, this is an excellent way to spend a couple of hours. The admission is free, and kids are definitely welcomed!!

Great museum and free, amazing volunteers. Thank you :)

Great little museum. The gentleman who was there was very knowledgeable and friendly. Answered many questions we had and gave us a quick history of Lake Tahoe. Great place for adults or children to visit.

Be the best kind of tourist and learn about Lake Tahoe when you visit! This museum is very interesting and has all sorts of explanations about the items they have on display. Diane was super friendly and incredibly informative, she really went above and beyond for us. Highly recommend.

Although the site was closed, the buildings were interesting.

This museum is absolutely amazing! They have a scavenger hunt for the kids! They follow the numbers around the museum and answer questions about the history of Lake Tahoe! My kids, 7 and 12, both enjoyed it! The museum has all different historical artifacts from a dental chair to skis to saws! There is history about all the families that had an impact on Lake Tahoe and what it has become today! There is a house (only open on Saturdays) you can get a tour of that is set up like a family would have used it in the early 1900s! There is a Toll House at the end that is being restored! It is one of the original toll houses used coming down towards the California coast! The tour guides were very knowledgeable and kind!

Great place to learn a lot about Lake Tahoe. Hours of operation are limited because of limited staff, but they are all very knowledgeable. Since it is free, please make sure to donate or buy a ton of books like I did.
