Even the President of the United States and the Governor of California were involved.

Join historical David Woodruff as he presents the history in a 50-minute slideshow and discussion. The program is free and open to the public and will be held inside iin the resort’s heated tent. Wylder Hope Valley is located on Hwy 88, 1 mile east of the junction of Hwy 88 & 89 in Hope Valley.
