Fort Humboldt State Historic Park

Great view from the edge of this blufftop former 1853-70 fort from the times of the wars against the indigenous peoples in the area. Besides a few restored barracks more detailed and numerous exhibits cover the early lumber industry, mostly with steam engine technologies.

Fort Humboldt State Historic Park is a California state park in Eureka. His displays interpret the former USA. The Army fort occupied from 1853 to 1870, the interactions between European Americans and Native Americans during roughly the same period, the logging equipment, and the area's local narrow-gauge railroad history. Within the collection are trains, logging equipment including a fully functioning steam donkey engine and an authentic excavated Native American canoe. The fort overlooks Humboldt Bay from a cliff. The North Coast regional headquarters of the California State Parks system is located locally.
