Preview: This museum, situated in Old Town Eureka, is located in what was once the Bank of Eureka building. The museum tells the story of Eureka’s prominent place in the history of California’s North Coast through a series of panels and exhibits on the gold, lumber, farming, and maritime history that brought jobs and homes to many and riches to few. As was the case for so many of California’s early and more prominent homes and commercial buildings, the bank building was designed by San Francisco architect Albert Pissis. Constructed in 1912, this corner landmark building, with its formal columns and glazed terra-cotta facade, is unusual in appearance for the North Coast. What's Here: Re-created and furnished Victorian rooms. Don't Miss This: The dugout canoe exhibited at the New York World’s Fair in the 1940s.
