SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - The Lake Tahoe Historical Society is hosting another history talk on Tuesday, October 24, 2023, at 6 p.m.

This month, join them as they welcome authors Chris and Lisa Couper with their presentation "Bits and Pieces from the Echo Summit Route." The Coupers wrote the history of Sierra-at-Tahoe last year, and will share information through a slideshow presentation about the history of the summit from footpath to a two-lane highway, and why it didn't become a four-lane highway like I80.

The event will be held at the History Museum Complex, 3058 Lake Tahoe Boulevard, South Lake Tahoe, Calif. Parking is available at the

History Museum and Senior Center parking lots.

Refreshments will be served.

The History Museum and Bookstore will be open until 8:00 p.m. after the presentation.
