Homewood is an unincorporated community of about 200 residents, in Placer County, California, located on the west shore of Lake Tahoe.

It is located 5.5 miles (8.9 km) south of Tahoe City and north of Chambers Landing and Tahoma.

Thomas McConnell is said to be the founder of Homewood, after he purchased lakefront property on Lake Tahoe's west shore and laid out the Homewood District with property on either side of Highway 89 in 1889.

The community of Tahoe Pines uses Homewood's ZIP Code, 96141.

However, due to our changing community interests and decreasing philanthropic support, the Museum is unable to meet its annual fundraising goals to support a physical museum within the Tahoe Basin.” | tahoemaritimemuseum.org [6]
