Located on the southern slope of Mt. Shasta, McCloud is a quaint little mountain town that draws…read moreits fair share of skiers, kayakers, hikers and mountain bikers. It has an interesting history too, including as a longstanding home of the Wintu people, many years as a company town owned by a lumber mill, an Italian labor uprising in 1909, and William Randolph Hearst's nearby Wyntoon estate that once hosted guests like Clark Gable, Charles Lindbergh, and John F. Kennedy (and is still used by Hearst's heirs today). The Heritage Junction Museum on Main Street is filled with over 100 years of photographs and artifacts documenting that history. This free museum is well curated, and the docent who showed us around was a lifelong resident who was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Since the addition of our two little dudes many of our road trips have started to center not on the…read morefinal destination but rather on where we can stop and route to said destination. Children's Museums have become popular stopping point and we were very excited to find out that there was one in Klamath Falls. While this place isn't much to look at on the outside, inside are some great exhibuts, an area for young kiddos and plenty of stuff to stimulate curiosity while also burning off some energy! The place is located in an older part of town in what we found out was an old Dental Building. The place was donated about 15 years ago and they've been making continual improvements to it ever since. Upon walking in you're greeted by one of the employees at the counter. It was $5 per person to get in and that included access to everything that was available there. As well as tea and coffee Upstairs! The membership price was something like $10 per month for a family membership and $100 per month for a corporate membership. If we lived here this would be a go-to place! Downstairs just across from the entrance is an area for toddlers with a couple couches for moms needing to rest with little ones. Upstairs there are a ton of great exhibits for kids ages 2+. The exhibits included a decomissioned airplane that had been donated by a local gentleman, a great wooden fire truck that the kids could climb on that had working lights and sirens, a play town with rooms dedicated to a grocery store, a doctor's office, a hair salon at a dentist office. These were all a lot of fun and had phones that worked to call the other rooms - big news for 2 and 4 year olds! One of the more unique things they had here was a shadow room, with a phosphorescent wall that the kids could pose in front of and then the shadow was captured on it. One of the more creative things we've seen at a children's museum and it made for a very good time for everyone involved! Our favorite thing here though was the wall with the magnetic ramps and blower. All the pieces were set up to complete a circuit that then allowed a ping pong ball to go from one end to the other. Most of these that we've seen other places involve clear pipes and puff balls, but this one actually allowed the kids to change out pieces. It was pretty simple and really, really cool. The places mentioned we're definitely the highlights, and there were plenty of other areas 2 explore including one with model trains and another with a bunch of musical instruments. The folks here have done a pretty amazing job of setting up a really neat children's museum in a pretty small space. The space is utilized really well, and the folks that work here were very nice, interactive and helpful to all the kids. This is definitely a place that should be utilized by folks in town and anyone passing through!

They have some new, interactive displays about the wildlife and forests here, fun for kids and immature adults alike. There is also a little room with a super cool and eclectic display from a local artist. I don't want to spoil it so I'm just going to mention that it was really really neat and his prices were very reasonable so don't miss it. They also have a very interesting gem display, we saved this room for last and were kind of tired so I didn't get to spend as much time as I would have liked to, I'll have to go back. Don't miss out on this neat little tidbit. Afterwards, take lunch at Sharky's Shack, across main and down a block on Spring.

Located in the Bigfoot capital of the world [Willow Creek CA]…read more The two times we passed by Willow Creek in Humboldt County the museum was closed for the season, the very first time was in March 2011 and the second in February 2022. Third time was a charm as it was open! This past Memorial Day weekend we were passing through Willow Creek on our way to Eureka and the museum had just opened for the day. For new visitors you will immediately notice in front of the building a larger-than-life wooden statue of Bigfoot next to the signage. Next to it is a copy of a cast made from a Bigfoot track that was found on a little sand-gravel bar in 1963. Feel free to compare your footprint with Bigfoot's. Inside, we wandered the lower part of the museum and browsed through the collection of things from the past - old safe, cash registers, artifacts . We head on over to the Big Foot Exhibit which was further inside and found a collection of materials - newspaper articles, Bigfoot casts that have been collected over the years (donated to the museum), maps of sightings, photos including a blown up picture of the famous Patterson-Gimlin Film (frame #352) taken in Bluff Creek in October 1967. Outside of the building are some collection of logging, mining, forging and agricultural artifacts. The museum includes a gift shop where they sell Bigfoot shirts and sweatshirts, books and other collectibles like postcards and stickers. For reference, the museum is free to visit and is open from May to September (Wednesday to Sunday from 10:00a to 4:00p). Lots of free parking near the entrance to the museum. I am not a BF believer but the museum was interesting to see with all the Bigfoot stuff... I mean, with all the TV series about Bigfoot why haven't they found one yet in real life, just evidence. There are (were) at least 14 TV series about Bigfoot. I guess it's best I don't encounter one but that would make me a believer for sure LoL! The volunteer staff was helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. I believe he is a retired Highway Patrol Officer who once patrolled the area. Instagram: @bigfootmuseum Review #3768
