History talk Sunday in Minden takes on start of Highway 395 in 'Tales Along El Camino Sierra'
Local authors and historians David and Gayle Woodruff will recount Sunday in Minden the impressive and fascinating efforts by boosters in Eastern California and Western Nevada to promote the construction of a modern roadway Highway 395 in their region.
From record setting airplane flights over Mt. Whitney to partnering with two World Fairs, the ballyhoo created by the Inyo Good Road Club and Nevada boosters was amusing, improbable and effective. The 55 minute slide show features many rare historic images and video of this celebrated bit of local history. The Jan. 28 program is at Minden Mill Distilling, 1601 Water St. Minden, Nev. It begins at 1 p.m.
Seating is limited for the free program and reservations are required. Please click to the link here to make your reservation.
All guests will receive a complimentary glass of sparkling wine. Must be +21. Call David at 760 920 8061 for more information.
