What visitors say
This is a really nice, newer museum building that’s definitely worth a visit 🏛️✨. It offers a small but meaningful glimpse into the history of the Humboldt area, giving you a better appreciation for the region’s past 🌄📜. Even though…
This place exquisitely documents the region's history. The folks that work there are super friendly and the exhibits were very well set up. Super cool
free museum that tells you a lot about the history behind the town and people. Very surprised to learn there was a Chinatown and lots of Chinese workers came here to build the great railroad in the 19th century.
