Clarke Historical Museum — Attraction in Eureka

I wanted to visit the large Native American collection of Northern California Tribes and was not disappointed.

You will find a small museum in an old bank building with a number of exhibits and collections including Native American, guns, gems and minerals, local history, and much more.

The Hallstone and Hover collections in the Native American exhibit includes baskets from the local Yurok and Karuk tribes.

The Becker collection includes necklaces from the local tribes made from sea shells and pine nuts.

The gun collection includes historic firearms and weapons including muskets, swords, and small guns.

I also found a nice quilt display, a mineral collection, a Victorian Room display, and a number of local history exhibits including the expulsion of the Chinese.

Located on E street in downtown Eureka with limited parking on the streets.

I always enjoy touring the museum & learn something new every...

The opening hours listed are wrong. We'd already decided to skip this museum, as we were so tired from a day of sight-seeing. However, we ended up accidently walking by it while strolling through town, and it was still open after 4 PM, so we decided to go inside. And I'm so glad that we ended up visiting by sheer coincidence, as this turned out to the only noteworthy attraction, in this otherwise boring and sketchy city. They have one of the largest and finest collections of California tribal artifacts in the state. The historic home and Native American exhibits were by far the highlights of this museum. The price is very reasonable for what there is to see, and it absolutely should not be missed when...
