History Presentation - Obscure History of the Eastern Sierra Part Two

In part two of this series, local historians David & Gayle Woodruff continue a reflective look at some of the Eastern Sierra’s deep, rich, and little-known tales of history. Using vintage photos and extensive research, the Woodruffs recount a few of these esoteric anecdotes, in a 55-minute slide show presentation. From the bizarre story of Melvin Dummar, Howard Hughes and the Mormon Will…to the Sierra-Tahoe “Knights of the Lash,” the unique true tales are interesting, entertaining and amusing.

This presentation will take place on June 14, 2026 from 1:00pm-2:15pm at Minden Mill Distilling. It’s free to attend, provided you have reserved a ticket. Tickets will become available starting May 26, 2026. Spots are very limited, so reserve your ticket early.
