Description | Whether a tourist or a local, a stop in Old Town Eureka is not complete without a visit to the Clarke Historical Museum. Founded by Eureka High School teacher Cecile Clarke, the museum has been housed in the landmark Bank of Eureka building since 1960. The Clarke Museum proudly displays the rich history of Humboldt County, which includes vibrant Native American cultures, gold rush settlements, the lumber industry, prosperous ranching, farming and livelihoods wrung from the sea. Walking through period rooms and changing exhibits, visitors can glimpse Victorian elegance, remarkable craftsmanship, and everyday work, home life and play from Humboldt County's past.
Free docent led tours are being offered subject to staff & volunteer availability. Come learn about Humboldt County history, view temporary and permanent exhibits, and do a little shopping in our gift shop. |
