Lake Tahoe Living History Day
 |
We have been anticipating this event since we heard about it in April. Lake Tahoe Living History Day happens just once a year and we are so excited to finally be there. The public is invited to spend the entire day at Sugar Pine Point State Park, enjoying the gracious lifestyle that wealthy residents and their guests once experienced at their summer retreats on the west shore of Lake Tahoe. Park visitors will be treated like guests of the late Florence and Sydney Ehrman, with many entertaining activities – concerts, historical talks, painting with artists-in-residence and guided tours, all of them free. |
 |
| The Hellman-Ehrman Mansion, Pine Lodge, was completed in 1903 and was considered to be one of the finest homes in the high Sierra. The family spent 60 summers here and we delighted in being 'guests' for the morning. |
 |
| These dapper gentlemen said that I was a "rose between two thorns". I protested the comment and loved their attire. All the volunteers were dressed for the 1930's period. |
 |
| The car collection, assembled on the large lawn was very impressive. |
 |
| We attended an interesting lecture given by Carol Van Etten about boating on the Lake pre-1925. She really knew her stuff and we learned a great deal about marine miscellany. |
 |
| Can't you just see the picnics and frolicking that must have happened over the decades. Steve is looking at the Lake (just behind me). |
