Dangberg Ranch history coming to SLT Library

Friends of the South Lake Tahoe Library have two events scheduled for March.

The first is on March 3 at 1pm. Mark Jensen, curator at Dangberg Home Ranch Historic Park in Carson Valley, will share Fritzi Dangberg’s adventures, accompanied by some show-and-tell of her possessions, that give a glimpse into making the most of life in the first half of the 20th century. Dangberg was not a typical rancher’s daughter. Born in 1907, her family was one of the most influential in Nevada’s Carson Valley, with a stake in several businesses and a livestock ranch that included tens of thousands of acres and animals. Her family’s prosperity made life comfortable and gave Dangberg many opportunities: college, travel and notable friends.

The next event is the book sale on March 17 starting at 10am.

Both events are free and at the library on Rufus Allen Boulevard.
