Tahoe Maritime Museum
Posted on April 14, 2008
Time has flown by since construction crews first broke ground on the Tahoe Maritime Museum’s new home last spring, and museum staff is already preparing for the renovated museum’s grand opening celebrations this coming May.
Of the two-story, 5,800-square-foot building, with some outside work and interior finishes remaining.“I think that that is just kind of historic for Tahoe, or for anywhere,” said Polly Bredt, whose husband Tom Bredt is the museum’s board president. “It looks like the plans looked, which one of our board members is most amazed at.” The main exhibit will be designed as a pier, Kraus said, with several classic wooden boats, spanning the decades from the late 1890s to the 1960s, attached to the dock.
About $4 million has been raised to fund the Tahoe Maritime Museum’s new building, including the North Lake Tahoe Resort Association’s $250,000 contribution and the $260,000 received from the California Cultural and Historical Endowment Board.
