Lake Tahoe Historical Society Museum

The museum operated by Lake Tahoe Historical Society informs and educates visitors about the lives of the Washoe people who were the first residents of the basin and chronicles the history of life at Tahoe from that time forward. View a pictorial journey of the early settlers, learn about the importance that the steamer boat played and get a glimpse of farming and ranching in the area. There are historical films helping to share even more knowledge of the area. To bring a little Tahoe history back home with you, there is a gift shop with historical photography, books, cards and other unique local gifts.
