Welcome to the Southern Tuolumne County Historical Society

On Friday, Nov. 1, STCHS sponsored its third speakers' program talk by Beth Pratt, a noted local conservationist and environmental advocate focusing on Yosemite. Before 75 fascinated attendees at the Resilience Center, Beth discussed her work to conserve CA wildlife with an emphasis on mountain lions and pikas. She also highlighted her efforts to create wildlife corridors that overcome highway barriers, such as the new Wallis Annenberg overpass in Southern California. With a wonderful combination of photos and videos Beth kept everyone spellbound and captivated by her work. Her enthusiasm and commitment to the cause were truly infectious. Many sincere thanks to Beth and to all who attended! 

(Videos of the three STCHS talks will be available soon.)

The 18th annual STCHS Wine Tasting Cruise took place Saturday, May 18, from 2:30 to 6:30 at Pine Mountain Lake. It was a fabulous day of bright sun, warm temperatures, good fun and even better wine. Nearly 200 wine fans from near and far came to enjoy a great day cruising between 6 houses on the Lake to taste wine and gourmet snacks. Everyone in attendance said it was one of the best yet - especially after the down years of Covid and bad weather. Our special thanks to everyone who donated their homes, boats, cookie-baking skills, volunteer time, and overall hospitality to make this such a big success. See you next year!
