Had a great time touring this amazing place. Shawn, our tour guide is so good at her job…read more This is a very unique opportunity to learn not only about tools and craftsmanship from years gone by, but also on learn more about the Eureka area. Viviana and Eric Hollenbeck were charming and generous with their time. They're genuinely kind folks with fascinating stories. The tour is partially upstairs so those with limited mobility may miss a bit but the majority can be accessed even for those who are wheelchair bound.

I was visiting my brother in Eureka last month, and we toured the Blue Ox Millworks and Historic…read moreVillage. What an amazing place! The village is a collection of buildings relocated from other areas, and they are dedicated to types of craftsmanship. There are SO many areas in the buildings to explore! They have woodworking, ceramics, glassworks, printing, signage, weaving, blacksmithing, and other crafts. The crew even built a replica of the hearse that carried Lincoln's coffin for the memorial trip from DC to Springfield, 150 years later. They also hand-crafted a redwood table for President Clinton's Presidential Library. Because the buildings are working sites, visitors must be careful as they walk through each area. Thankfully, all the walkways are of sturdy recent construction--even the catwalk on the second floor of the main building. Tours are led by knowledgeable guides, and visitors may have the opportunity to see craftsmen at work; on our visit, there was a gentleman working on a sign for a local ballpark. He stopped what he was doing and talked through the process of converting an artist's sketch to a finished, billboard-sized sign. It was fascinating to see! The grounds are lovely and have views of Humboldt Bay from the top of the rise. There are gardens planted in various sites around the village, and it is very pretty in the spring. For a unique experience of immersion into craftworks, I definitely recommend a visit to The Blue Ox!

This spot is a nice place to go on runs, walks, watch sunsets, do school research, attend field…read moretrips, and so do much more. Especially if you are here you will be able to find various unique birds by going bird watching after all the interpretative center is an area to educate yourself with the wildlife that habitat themselves in the am nearby areas of the marsh. I do have fond memories of going on field trips here and checking out the area where the urine disposal goes. Sounds gross, I know but believe it or not it was highly educational. Apparently the only plant that can pass into our intestines and still reproduce is the tomato seed. It was quite the sight to see. Many small plants were growing in what looked like a cross between a small green house and a gated barn. Surprisingly it didn't smell terrible outside. I do want to warn people from going to late in this marsh people not only can you run into interesting folks but also interesting bugs, critters and animals the darker it becomes. Overall, keep your eyes peeled and senses heightened because EVERY SINGLE TIME we always discover or see something new we didn't see before ^_*

We were staying nearby this place while in town. We decided to take our dogs for a walk and it was…read moresuch a relaxing place to go. Nice trails to walk. Several people were around walking, jogging, and bike riding. Definitely know why the locals enjoy this place for a variety of reason. There was also maps in several places to ensure you didn't get lost!
