Obscure History of the Eastern Sierra – Part 3
February 10 @ 1:30 pm – 2:30 pm
At the Carson City Senior Center-“Obscure History of the Eastern Sierra-Part Three.” In “part three” of this series, local historians David & Gayle Woodruff continue a reflective look at some of the Eastern Sierra’s deep, rich, and “little known” history. The “premier” subjects of our region are well known and have been extensively covered in numerous books, documentaries, and films. But there are several unique and lesser-known tales that are often overlooked and unappreciated. Using vintage photos and extensive research, the Woodruffs recount a few of these esoteric anecdotes, in a 55-minute slide show presentation. From the bizarre story of plans to build a tram to the very top of Mt. Whitney…to the amusing early history of Heavenly Valley Ski area, the unique true tales are interesting, entertaining and amusing. The program is free and no reservations are required.
