KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – The Ely Stage Stop & Country Museum will present the third in a series of living history events from noon to 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 25.

Local historians come on site on the fourth Saturday of each month to share stories from the past.

Floraine Chalk will be the visiting historian on Saturday.

Chalk has lived in Kelseyville all of her life, living on the same ranch as did her parents, Louise and Elvin Saderlund.

Besides running the prune orchard on the family ranch, her father owned and operated many businesses in Kelseyville and the surrounding areas.

Chalk will be available to the public in the Ely main house starting at noon to visit and answer questions.

Come visit with Chalk and learn how much Kelseyville has changed over the years. She has many great stories to relate.

Home to the Lake County Historical Society, the stage stop is located at 9921 State Highway 281 (Soda Bay Road) in Kelseyville, near Clearlake 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.
