KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – On the fourth Saturday of each month local historians come to the Ely Stage Stop to visit with guests and answer questions regarding different aspects of Lake County history.
As these visits are recorded, the stories of Lake County's history are being preserved for future generations.
The docents and volunteers of the Ely Stage Stop & Country Museum are excited to welcome back Gene Paleno, author and illustrator living in Witter Springs.
Paleno will be available to museum visitors on May 28 from noon to 2 p.m. Paleno’s visit that day will focus on the Bloody Island Massacre of 1850.
According to Paleno, his recently published book, “Lake County History: A Mystical Adventure in Time,” includes the whole story as shared nowhere else.
Copies of the book will be available for purchase and Paleno will be happy to sign them for interested visitors.
The Lake County Historical Society’s Ely Stage Stop & Country Museum is located at 9921 State Highway 281 (Soda Bay Road) in Kelseyville, near Clear Lake Riviera, just north of Highway 29-Kit's Corner.
Current hours of operation are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. each Saturday and Sunday.
