The Coeur d’Alene Regatta will be the topic for regional historian Robert Singletary as his series, “Inland Northwest Milestones,” continues Thursday, July 27, at 7 p.m., at the library.The first regatta was held in the Lake City in 1913 and continued as an annual event into the 1920s. The event attracted thousands of people and Tubbs Hill once had viewing stands built on its slopes to accommodate the crowds.
The free lecture series is offered in partnership with the Museum of North Idaho in the Community Room, usually on the fourth Thursday of each month, except for the final program which will be presented on Nov. 30 due to the Thanksgiving holiday.
Subsequent programs will be:
► Aug. 24: Farming in North Idaho.
► Sept. 28: Inland Empire Electric Line.
► Oct. 26: Kirtland Cutter: Spokane’s Master Architect.
► Nov. 30: History of Skiing in North Idaho.
