The dramatic pioneer past of Kings Beach
Kings Beach sits along a path many American pioneers took on their way west, and it’s less than half an hour from Donner Memorial State Park, where you can visit Pioneer Monument. The statue commemorates those who emigrated to California in the mid-1800s, including members of the Donner Party who perished there in the winter of 1846. The Visitor Center offers exhibits on the life of the pioneers, the Washoe Indians, and the Chinese immigrants who built railroads through the region. Guided tours of the park’s sites are available for adults and families year-round.
