    Carson Mansion - taken during a sunny afternoon

    This is a beautiful home, one of the most photographed homes in the country. It's a beautiful…read moreexample of Queen Anne Victorian architecture. The home was finished in 1889, and was built for lumber baron William Carson. He and his family lived in the home for many years. It was in danger of demolition, as maintaining such large historic homes became costly. A group of local businessmen bought the home in 1950, and turned it into a private club. They have since spent millions and millions of dollars to restore and maintain the home. While it is absolutely beautiful from the outside, unfortunately, it is not open for tours. However, if you happen to know a member of the club, or if you are invited to an event such as a wedding, office party, etc. at the mansion, you can get a tour. It's a very nice home on the inside, and the highlight is the cupola at the very top, which Mr. Carson used to observe his business interests. If you would like to see what the inside looks like, you can Google the phrase , "Carson mansion interior."

    Beautiful Victorian architecture!…read more Went up north for the Memorial Day weekend for the redwoods but had to make a stop to check out the famous Carson Mansion. Love the green tones of the home and varying rooflines. At first I was surprised that there was no placard with a summary of the place but then I noticed a small sign. It was fun to see the sign at the front of the gate that had a QR code to scan and it'll take you to a Spotify listening to learn about the history of the place. Very cool, because this way you can listen to the history of it via your phone at either the site at that moment or even play it on the drive back. It was unique and something I haven't seen before! We took our time and appreciated the view because if you turn to the left you can also observe the water and pedestrian walkway corridors in town. If you're in Eureka and even only have 5-10 minutes to spare, I recommend swinging by the Carson Mansion to get a taste of high quality architecture, unique views, and a lil history moment!

We were there on the Fourth of July we stopped in for two days on the way to the Oregon coast. We found a really nice bike path it was about 6 miles each way some of it very new that was fun. There were some homeless on the bike path but that's to be expected in today's age I guess. I would assume this town caters to the homeless because they are prevalent. My first impression of Eureka as I drove through was The whole town needs a paint job. There needs to be some program where the homeless people clean up the streets. Because there's lots of homeless and lots of trash. Those two problems could cancel each other out with the proper people in charge. This obviously once was a great little tourist town now frankly it looks like a drug town and is frightening in some areas. I was traveling with my wife and 2-10 year-old boys who were taken aback by just how ugly this town is. There was some sort of a Fourth of July celebration going on but after seeing the city my family was afraid to go there. Seems like there's a lot of meth in this town. One positive is fireworks are still legal. We bought some fireworks supported a local charity and lit them off in a parking lot back by the RV. I can't think of any reason I would ever go to this town again. We travel two weeks in the summer and at least one three day camping trip every month. Those travels will never again include driving through this town. I will now go I five and crossover in Oregon. I am writing this once I arrived in Gold Beach Oregon. The thing I noticed right away when I got to Oregon is there was no trash on the road anywhere. The condition of the highways is much better and a little beach towns are cute quaint and beautiful. Compare that to California is completely rundown and trashed. California coastal cities figure out what they're doing in Oregon and do it. It is a tragedy at these once cute little coastal towns are now such a disaster.
