Wylder Hope Valley hosts another presentation on Eastern Sierra history

Wylder Hotel Hope Valley continues its interpretive programs on Eastern Sierra history with a living history/Chautauqua style presentation on one of Lake Tahoe’s most colorful characters, George Whittell, the “Accidental Conservationist.”

Eastern Sierra historian David Woodruff takes on the character of one of the wealthiest men in the United States, who kept an African Lion for a pet, built one of the most beautiful pleasure crafts to navigate Lake Tahoe, entertained former Presidents, and unintentionally conserved a large portion of Lake Tahoe lands for the public to enjoy today.

The 50-minute program is on Saturday, February 26 at 2:00 p.m., is free, and open to the public. It will be held inside the Resort’s heated tent.

Please call (760) 920-8061 for more information.

Wylder Hotel Hope Valley is located just west of the junction of SR89 and SR88.
