Tehachapi Depot Groundbreaking
A Groundbreaking Ceremony for the new depot was held on June 13, 2009 at 3:10 pm, exactly one year and 12 hours after the fire broke out that completely destroyed the historic 1904 Tehachapi Depot.

Congratulations to Derek Lange, Our 2009 THL Scholarship Winner
We promptly received a Thank You note from Derek thanking the THL for the $500 scholarship we award annually to a graduate whose essay shows an interest in pursuing a degree in history and who is worthy of financial aid.
Derek writes, "I appreciate the trust you have in me and the financial aid you have awarded me so that I can further my education and try to make a difference in the world. I assure you that the money you have given will be used with much wisdom and gratitude."
We are currently asking for donations so that we can send Derek his check once he registers for his classes. Donations to the THL Scholarship Fund can be sent to:
