Dangberg Home Ranch Historic Park

Dangberg Home Ranch Historic Park

To understand the historical roots of the Tahoe area, one has to be aware of the ranching heritage of the nearby Carson Valley. The meadows of South Shore served as summer range for livestock back then, a tradition that continued even through to the not-too-distant past. One way to gain a perspective on the ranching way of life that helped to shape this region is to visit the Dangberg Home Ranch Historic Park. Guided tours of the ranch house are available year round by reservation, and activities and events take place in the park from May through September.
