Daring and Dangerous Donner Summit
Using rare and seldom seen photographs, local historians and author David & Gayle Woodruff recount the interesting and often amusing tales that have helped shape one of America’s most favorite and well used mountain traffic corridors. From the brave men and women who toiled round the clock for three days to rescue 226 passengers and crew from a snow bound train to the enthusiastic citizens of the highway “Snow Shoveling Bee,” the improbable stories are legion. This free 55-minute slide show is on Tuesday, March 11 at 1:30pm in the Nevada Room (west end) of the Carson City Senior Center, 911 Beverly Drive. RSVP is not necessary.
