Old Town Eureka, Historic district in Eureka, California, US.
Old Town features Victorian-era buildings with ornate details, decorative millwork, and towering facades along streets that preserve 19th-century architectural styles.
The district emerged during the California Gold Rush, developing into a commercial center through the prosperity of lumber industry between 1850 and 1900.
The Clarke Historical Museum exhibits Native American baskets, Gold Rush artifacts, and numerous photographs documenting the evolution of Humboldt County.
Free two-hour parking spaces line the streets throughout the district, while several public lots offer additional parking for visitors exploring the area.
Local artisans operate workshops in former lumber baron mansions, creating handmade goods using traditional methods passed down through generations.
