South Lake Tahoe Friends of the Library has two history events planned for early April.

On April 2 at 11am, curator Mark Jensen returns to share more stories from Carson Valley’s historic Dangberg Home Ranch. Jensen will tell tales using the park’s historic artifacts, photographs and documents.

On April 5 at 6pm, Lake Tahoe’s Railroad History will come to life with a presentation by Jerry Blackwill, vice president of strategic planning for the Truckee Donner Railroad Society. Blackwill will tell the story of the Lake Tahoe Railway and Transportation Company, and how Duane L. Bliss, William Seth Bliss, Walter D. Bliss, Duane L. Bliss Jr. and Frank Titus built and ran this tourist system, laying the foundation for Lake Tahoe’s present day tourist industry.

Both event are free. The library is at 1000 Rufus Allen Blvd., South Lake Tahoe.
