Just as every person has a unique life story, so does every town. It’s the work of the Lake County Historical Society to document the narratives of both local people and institutions. Some of that information is stored and displayed at the Ely Stage Stop and Country Museum in Kelseyville. To honor its role in keeping local history alive, the museum is hosting a 10th Anniversary Celebration, on July 17, 10 a.m.–3 p.m. The free event will feature blacksmithing and gold-panning demos, a stagecoach holdup, fiddling, and a ceremony honoring the museum’s founders. Attendees can also check out the museum’s exhibit of vintage wedding dresses, Brides of Yesteryear. For more information, go to facebook.com/elystagestop.
