Something for everyone! Cool locally crafted art, pottery, and jewelry. Every time I go by I usually pick up something for myself, family, friends or just to have a cool Lake Tahoe souvenir on hand to give out as a gift.
3. Gatekeeper's Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 56 reviews
The North Lake Tahoe Historical Society preserves, presents and interprets the history of North Lake Tahoe both in a regional context and in the larger context of the American West. We do this in a manner that is engaging, educational and culturally sensitive through innovative programming and exhibits at the Gatekeeper's and Watson Cabin Museums of the NLTHS. The Gatekeeper's Museum and Watson Cabin place emphasis on the cultural and geographical histories that influenced the development of North Lake Tahoe. The Marion Steinbach Indian Basket Museum places emphasis on the historical and contemporary basketry traditions of western North America, and seeks to promote cultural awareness through programming in collaboration and consultation with native American weavers and scholars.

Good place to visit while in Tahoe City. Rich local history, Olympic skies, dresses upstairs. First floor American Indian artifacts.

This museum documents the fascinating and tragic history of the Donner Party's journey to the west coast.

First, avoid the $10 parking lot charge by parking along the street if you can. The museum is well worth a stop, as it gives a good overview of what the emigrants faced on their trip west. There is a 26-minute film, and there are well maintained walking trails.

So convenient you must see it. It is very small but interesting. The museum is free but they happily accept donation. Hours appear to be seasonal so check to see when it is open.
