When you visit Lake Tahoe at any time of year, you can’t help but marvel at its beauty and size. But did you know it was once part of an even larger lake that included Pyramid Lake and most of Churchill County? It’s true! To learn more about it, come to the museum and check out the Age of the Lost Lake portion of our Hidden Cave exhibit!
