LUCERNE, Calif. – The Lake County Historical Society will enjoy their Sunday, April 29, general membership meeting at the Lucerne Hotel, better known to locals as “The Castle.”

The historic building is located at 3700 Country Club Drive, Lucerne.

Join the group at 2 p.m. to relax and enjoy listening to speaker Eric Seely, deputy county administrative officer for special projects, as he brings the group up-to-date on the Castle’s future and gives members a tour.

The Castle was built at the end of the 1920s, at the beginning of the Great Depression. Since its completion the building has passed through numerous hands and uses, most falling far below its potential and grandeur.

That is about to change; negotiations are under way between county of Lake and Marymount College regarding a college campus at the historic Lucerne Hotel.

Refreshments will be served in the lobby area. Join the group and bring friends. Donated cookies and cake to share would be appreciated.

If you have any questions please call Phil Smoley at 707-349-1008 or Randy Ridgel at 707-279-4062. Please wear warm clothing as the building can be very cool inside.
