Sierra State Parks Foundation and California State Parks announce a rare opportunity to experience behind the scenes at Pine Lodge, the Ehrman Mansion, at Sugar Pine Point State Park on Aug. 31 from 5 to 8pm.

Tickets are $50 per person, with proceeds earmarked to provide critically needed funds for maintenance and repairs at Pine Lodge. Planned projects include an electrical system upgrade, lathe and plaster repair, window repairs and more.

Guests will be treated to after-hours tours starting between 5 and 5:30pm. These leisurely tours will visit areas not normally viewed by the public such as the Children’s House and the mansion’s third floor servants’ quarters.

Following the tour, wine and hors d’oeuvres will be served on the front porch.

Space is limited and reservations are required — (530) 583.9911.
