North Lake Tahoe Historical Society

The Gatekeepers Museum
130 West Lake Boulevard
Tahoe City, CA
The Gatekeeper’s Museum is a reconstruction of the original Gatekeeper’s Cabin, on the same site where the
original stood until it was destroyed by arson fire in the early 1980s.
The original Gatekeeper’s cabin was built by Robert Montgomery Watson—also the builder of the Watson Cabin—to
be the home of the Watermaster who controlled the flow of water out of Lake Tahoe. We still have a
Watermaster, but s/he no longer lives in this cabin. Instead, the cabin showcases Tahoe history, from the
Washoe people through the logging and mining eras and the establishment of the tourism industry at Lake
Tahoe. Exhibits include Native American baskets, resort memorabilia, historical photographs, clothing, oral
histories, maps, archival documents, newspapers and artifacts.
Hours:
Sunday-Monday : 10am-5pm
Wednesday-Saturday: 10am-5pm
Tuesdays: Closed
Watson Cabin
560 North Lake Boulevard
Tahoe City, CA
The Watson Cabin still stands on the original site where the Robert Montgomery Watson built it in 1909, and
remains an outstanding example of turn-of-the-century construction. It is the oldest building in Tahoe City
that still sits where it was built, in the heart of Tahoe City, above Commons Beach, and is listed on the
National Register of Historic Places.
The first residents of the Cabin were Watson’s son Robert, his wife Stella and their daughter, Mildred. While
the cabin is a testament to the simplicity of pioneer life, it was one of the first in Tahoe City to have
indoor plumbing! Originally, the cabin contained a living room, kitchen and an outdoor porch. Upstairs there
were 2 bedrooms, a sewing room, and amazingly, indoor plumbing in the bathroom! Eventually, the outdoor porch
was extended and enclosed to make room for the family of three who for many years lived here year 'round.
The other house of note that Robert M. Watson built was the Gatekeeper’s Cabin next to Fanny Bridge, now the
Gatekeeper’s Museum.

Tahoe’s best alpine meadows. Paige Meadows is the perfect location for a high altitude picnic or a hot
beverage on a cool Fall day.

From Granlibakken, head due north via the Tahoe Rim Trail to reach amazing views atop Twin Crags. Located
just outside of Tahoe City, this hidden gem leads you through aromatic pines, and cedars, through a series of
switchback to the Truckee River below. A quick crossing over the Truckee River and the road leads you to the
cliff tops perched high above the Truckee River. Dense forests give way to picturesque views of the lake and
river.
Eagle Rock****
0.75mi. Roundtrip, Easy, 1-2 hours
Step for step, this trek offers the best views for the least distance of any in the Tahoe Basin. Once perched
on top of Eagle Rock you are greeted with a 360/° view of the lake and mountains. This is great spot for
lunch, or to start or end a day. Make this a must do for any vacation to the lake.
Rubicon Trail****

This trek leads you from the Bliss State Park along Lake Tahoe to Emerald Bay. Enjoy beautiful views of the
lake while hiking along the West shore where the lake drops over 1000’ underwater. This is a rolling hike
