LAKEPORT, Calif. – The third installment in a series of readings on Lake County history will take place on Saturday, March 17.

The reading will begin at 2 p.m. at the Courthouse Museum, 255 N. Main St., Lakeport.

Patty Kalis will read from letters written by Susan Dorn to her family back East.

Dorn, an educated woman and a teacher, came to California during the Gold Rush, living for several years in a mining camp before finally settling in Lake County.

Her letters reveal the many hardships she endured, and the stoic attitude and determination she needed in order to survive and make the best life possible for her family.  

Join the museum for an interesting afternoon of history and discussion.

There is no charge and refreshments will be served.

For information, please call the museum at 707-263-4555.
