Sir Edmund Hillary in Tahoe 1962...

I discovered this photo while archiving at the museum.  From the May 31, 1963 'Sierra this Week' section of the Tahoe Daily Tribune, the caption reads:
Sir Edmund Hillary, Mrs. Hillary and their 3 children, Peter 7, Sarah 6, and Belinda 3 are pictured in front of their trailer-tent at a campsite in Fallen Leaf Lake Campground last year.  The Hillarys, on tour of forest service campgrounds, in the US, spent 2 days in the area and were highly complimentary of local forest service facilities.
So, between climbing peaks in the Himalayas, he visited Tahoe.   I so love the history here!
