If you want to be sure you don't miss any of Lake Tahoe's history or signature sites, consider embarking on this self-guided tour. It presents you with a passport that guides you to various museums and historic homes around the lake, providing an informed overview of Native American life and culture, early residents, traveling settlers, the growth of tourism in the area, and more. You can pick up the passport at participating sites and at several local visitor bureaus. Once you've gotten your passport stamped at each of the venues, you're presented a pin to mark your successful completion.
