Wylder Resort Hope Valley hosts history talk on Lake Tahoe and the Olympics

Wylder Resort Hope Valley continues its local history series with a 50-minute slide show, “Going for the Gold-Lake Tahoe and the Olympics” from local author and historian David Woodruff on Sunday, March 26 at 12 p.m.

Alex Cushing and the State of California brought the 1960 Winter Olympics to the Lake Tahoe area...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.

The free program will be at the Café at Wylder’s Resort, located on Hwy. 88, 1 mile east of Pickett’s Jct. in Hope Valley. This is open to the public.
