Situated along the spectacular Northern California coastline 280 miles north of San Francisco, the City of Eureka is one of California’s best kept secrets. The city is bordered on one side by beautiful and functional Humboldt Bay, and on the other by mountains lush with giant redwoods which offer a reminder of the area’s rich logging heritage.

A variety of cultural opportunities are available in Eureka, including active artisan, arts, and theater groups. Outdoor recreation is abundant with activities such as boating, sport fishing, kayaking, hunting, birding and backpacking all available close by.(source: http://eurekachamber.com/Gallery/)

City Of Fortuna Fortuna California is little known city and an unlikely vacation destination. Perhaps that's why it was selected by National Geographic as one of the top unspoiled beautiful vacation destinations in America. Fortuna is not on the beaten path; in fact, it's off some distance from any of California's interstate highways.

Clarke Historical Museum In the heart of Old Town Eureka, at the corner of Third and E Streets, the Clarke Historical Museum is the only museum in Humboldt County dedicated to preserving and presenting the history of the entire area. The Museum is located in the former 1912 Bank of Eureka building, itself a landmark and important part of area history. Exhibits show the history of Humboldt County with emphasis on the late 1800's.

Jacoby's Storehouse While everyone else during Arcata’s Gold Rush boom years built their homes and businesses out of wood, August Jacoby—a prominent merchant—built his new storehouse on the Arcata Plaza out of local brick and stone, with a clay and concrete roof.
