Welcome to the Clarke Museum
Whether a tourist or a local, a stop in Old Town Eureka is not complete without a visit to the Clarke Historical Museum. Founded by Eureka High School teacher Cecile Clarke, the museum has been housed in the landmark Bank of Eureka building since 1960. The
Clarke Museum proudly displays the rich history of
Humboldt County, which includes vibrant Native American cultures, gold rush settlements,
the lumber industry, prosperous ranching, farming and livelihoods wrung from
the sea. Walking through period rooms and changing exhibits, visitors can
glimpse Victorian elegance, remarkable craftsmanship, and everyday work, home,
life and play from Humboldt County’s past. We look forward to making your next visit to Humboldt a historic one!
