  • Deck Railings: All railings along the deck are being replaced in-kind to maintain safety and structural integrity.
  • Structural Repairs: Damaged bark on key support posts is being repaired to preserve the estate’s natural aesthetic and stability.
  • Back Stairs & Railings: The cobblestone stairs at the rear of the building, along with their railings, are being reconstructed in-kind using the existing stones to maintain historical integrity.

These efforts are part of Valhalla Tahoe’s ongoing commitment to preserving the estate’s historical significance. In 2023, the organization completed a six-year fundraising campaign to update the Boathouse Theater’s sound and lighting equipment, a project costing over $70,000. This upgrade is expected to enhance the audience experience for the next three decades.  valhallatahoe.com

Valhalla Tahoe operates under a special use permit with the U.S. Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit. The estate, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, serves as a cultural hub, hosting various events throughout the year. fs.usda.gov

Community members are encouraged to support these preservation efforts through donations, memberships, or volunteering. For more information, visit Valhalla Tahoe’s official website.
