Step into the Past with Living History at Valhalla!
On Wednesday, July 16, 2025, at 7:30 p.m., Join us in the Boathouse Theatre for a captivating—and free!—Living History performance with local historians David & Gayle Woodruff. On stage as Reno Divorce Ranch characters Clive and Vivian Sterling, they bring to life The Reno Cure—a quirky, engaging look at how Reno became the “Divorce Capital of the World.” From glamorous guests to quickie divorces, this unique piece of Nevada history is told with charm, humor, and a touch of theatrical flair.
The Tallac Historic Site is located 2 miles past the intersection of Highway 50 and Highway 89, just past Camp Richardson, on the lake side of Highway 89. Please turn right on the street with the sign “Valhalla.” If the gate is locked or the 73-space parking lot is full, feel free to park along Hwy 89 outside the entrance. There is a large dirt lot just past the Valhalla Tahoe sign. Overnight parking is not allowed inside the gate. Cars can be left overnight outside the gate in the dirt lot at the owner’s own risk.
We encourage carpooling, bike riding, and good old-fashioned walking. Parking is allowed in designated 73 spaces only. There is also a large public parking lot for the Tallac Historic Site on Heritage Way, one street West of Valhalla Road, that is open in late May or early October.
Valhalla hosts a Summer Event Series each year that includes concerts in the Boathouse, improv shows, free lawn concerts, living history performances, two plays, children’s art camp, the annual Gatsby Tea and the WordWave one-act play competition. The Holiday Faire is a family tradition for many locals and visitors. Join us for a performance and experience living history against a stunning backdrop. The theatre’s interior with exposed beams from the original boathouse creates an unrivaled experience in performing arts venues.
