Tahoe shoreline history subject of talk

Peter Goin, author, photographer, and UNR professor, will speak on One Hundred Years of Shoreline: Rephotography and Lake Tahoe.

Travel in time through photographs as the 1916 Lake Tahoe shoreline reappears.

One hundred years ago, photographer H.T. Cowling’s 150 photographs showed conditions on the shores of the lake with the water at its maximum level and helped property owners present their complaints about the lake’s elevation. There are places where the beach is different, creeks enter the lake at different locations and the shorelines have been mediated by property owners.

The April 14, 5pm talk is free at the Tahoe Maritime Museum in Tahoe City.
