Founded by Cecile Clarke, a teacher at the local high school, the Clarke Historical Museum is dedicated to showcasing the rich history of Humboldt County, ranging from the gold rush settlements and logging industry to the vibrant Native American cultures that called the region home.

Housed in the landmark Bank of Eureka building since 1960, the Museum has an array of outstanding exhibits, displays and interactive programs that offers visitors the opportunity to explore the history of the region, and take a step back in time to the elegance of the Victorian age and its remarkable craftsmanship, as well as experience life as a wealthy rancher or farmer in the region at the time. The Clarke Historical Museum is open year-round from Wednesday to Saturday.
