History Museum in South Lake Tahoe
In 1968, a group of volunteers gathered artifacts and started a small museum in the city of South Lake Tahoe. In 1983, the museum moved from a Log Cabin into the former county library that was remodeled in 2009, giving it a fresh, new museum experience. The Lake Tahoe Historical Society supports this history museum that now features artifacts, photos, a movie theater, and indoor and outdoor walking tours. The museum is operated by volunteers with a Board of Directors elected by members of the Lake Tahoe Historical Society. The mission is supported by donations, memberships and fundraisers.
