    Just big enough to get a taste of old Ferndale, small enough to be a snack. Great way of breaking things into 'rooms'.

    Historic Military Fort [Eureka CA]…read more There's a lot to take in historically from Fort Humboldt. Although this site seems peaceful now, at one time it was the hub of a conflict between settlers and Native Americans. We walked through the grassy park area stopping to read interpretive signs along the way educating ourselves. The history of Fort Humboldt State Historic Park dates back to 1853. First, one of the most famous military personalities to serve here was Captain Ulysses S. Grant, the future U.S. President and commander of all Union forces during the Civil War. He was stationed here as Captain of Company F, 4th Infantry, in 1853-1854. His story is shared in historic signage and markers. No wait... FIRST! Fort Humboldt State Historic Park is haunted! The GhostTube app captured some anomalies when we used it. I posted a couple of videos. During its glory, the fort had 14 buildings: Officer's Quarters, barracks, a hospital, a blacksmith shop, a horse stable, and even a bakery. Wooden markers can be seen at the park indicating where they once stood. The reconstructed Surgeon's Quarters and original Fort Hospital remain standing till today and I wonder if they open the doors to visitors during park hours. One part of the park are collection of exhibits not related to the military history: railroad equipment and machinery used in the early days of 150 years of local logging history including a Donkey engine.

We arrived on what had already been a tough day, but the moment we stepped inside, everything shifted. The selection alone is incredible, tables and cases filled with stunning specimens, from deep blue kyanite to vibrant tangerine quartz and beautiful geodes. Outside, the yard is a treasure trove in itself, with bins of rose quartz and countless stones just waiting to be discovered. It truly feels like a hands-on adventure. What made the visit unforgettable, though, were the guys working there. They were genuinely kind, welcoming, and incredibly informative. They took the time to talk with us, answer questions, and share their knowledge in a way that made the experience feel personal and meaningful, not rushed or transactional. Their passion for what they do is obvious, and it's contagious. They turned what started as a difficult day into a full-blown treasure hunt for our family. By the time we left, we weren't just carrying stones; we were carrying a sense of joy, curiosity, and connection. We left completely satisfied and truly thankful for the experience. If you're anywhere near Humboldt County, this place is absolutely worth a stop. It's not just about what you find, it's about how you feel while you're there.
