Students at the UNR have created an exhibit called the Tahoe Recreation Experience: Fun at the Lake. It highlights the history of recreational activities at Lake Tahoe such as boat racing, skiing, hiking and camping as well as the historic environmental impacts on the lake.

The project is part of the university’s Shared History Program and will be on display in the Shared History Lab of the University’s Mack Social Science in Room 109 for one year starting May 4.

The class partnered with the Tahoe Maritime Museum to learn about the rich history of boat racing. The students were originally planning on focusing on the exhibit solely on the history of boat racing at Lake Tahoe but expanded the project to include more activities.

There will be a reception to celebrate the opening of the exhibit and to honor the graduating seniors in the class between 1:45 to 2:15pm on  May 4.
