A group of Incline Village residents led by the son of late ‘‘Bonanza'' star Lorne Greene is trying to preserve the history of the north Lake Tahoe community.

Chuck Greene and other history buffs have discussed plans to create a local historical society and to open a museum.

‘‘Our near-term goal is preserving documents and memorabilia from the history of the community and doing oral histories with as many early residents as we can,'' Greene told the North Lake Tahoe Bonanza.

‘‘In the longer term, we're looking at creating a museum that will focus on the history of our community and, through that lens ... the history and the heritage of the rest of the basin,'' he added.
