Museums

Donner Memorial State Park
Visitors are welcome year-round at the Emigrant Trail Museum and at the Pioneer Monument, built to commemorate those who emigrated to California from the east in the mid-1800's. Included in the museum are displays and information about the Donner Party, forced by circumstances to camp at the east end of Donner Lake in the winter of 1846-47, resulting in human suffering and loss of life.

Watson Cabin Museum
The Watson Cabin Museum still stands on the original site where it was constructed in 1908, and remains an outstanding example of turn-of-the-century construction.

Gatekeeper's Museum
Situated on the south bank of the Truckee river - Lake Tahoe's only outlet, the original cabin, built in 1909, served as the home of the resident gatekeeper.

Thunderbird Lodge
The Thunderbird Lodge is one of the last and best examples of a great residential estate on Lake Tahoe from the period in which prominent San Francisco society built homes on the lake.

Ehrman Mansion
Pine Lodge - the name conjures up accomodations not necessarily auspicious, but perhaps more along the lines of a rustric retreat. However, in local use this name was bestowed on a grand residence - the summer home of the Hellman-Ehrman family. In the case of Pine Lodge, foresight, and the wealth to take best advantage of it, combined to produce an estate which set the standard for West Shore elegance.

Tahoe Maritime Museum
The Tahoe Maritime Museum stimulates interest in, increases knowledge of, and maintains watercraft and marine artifacts significant in Lake Tahoe's maritime history through the highest standards of historic preservation, innovative interpretation and public education.
