Lecture Series Continues – Thursday, October 5th with David & Gayle Woodruff’s Historic Lecture & Slideshow – “Reflections of Bonanza” – with over 75 rare photos!

Gold Hill is pleased to continue the 2023 Lecture Series at the Historic Gold Hill Hotel!

Dinner starts at 4:30 p.m. and the lecture starts at 7:00 p.m.

Take a look back at one of the most popular and socially groundbreaking television shows of all time in an entertaining and fun-filled 55-minute slideshow presentation. Why did the Cartwrights seem to always wear the same clothes? How many scenes were actually filmed at Lake Tahoe? Who built the Ponderosa Ranch? Why did Pernell Roberts leave the show? You will find out the answers to these questions and dozens more, as local author and historian David Woodruff delves deep into this classic show from the 1960s.

They also give history presentations for museums, historical societies, social groups, and an assortment of other organizations.
