Wylder's Eastern History series: Going for the Gold-Lake Tahoe and the Olympics

Event Date: 
May 28, 2022 - 3:00pm

On Saturday, May 28 at 3 p.m., Wylder Resort Hope Valley continues its Eastern Sierra history series with a 50-minute slide show, “Going for the Gold-Lake Tahoe and the Olympics.”

Alex Cushing and the State of California brought the 1960 Winter Olympics to the Lake Tahoe area as Walt Disney brought the Olympics to the World. From hosting the first Olympics that truly utilized modern technology, to creating a world-class Olympic training facility deep in the Sierra Nevada Forest, the Lake Tahoe region has played an important role in America’s success in both the Summer and Winter Olympics for generations.

This week’s program will be at the Wylder General Store, located 1.25 miles east of the junction of highways 88 & 89 in Hope Valley (.25 mile east of Wylder Resort). It's free and open to the public. A lunch counter is available at the store. For more information call David @ 760 920-8061
