Clarke Historical Museum

The best community historical museum on this stretch of the coast houses a set of typically musty relics – needlework hankies and paintings of the area’s history-making notables (in this case Ulysses Grant, who was once dismissed from his post at Fort Humboldt for drunkenness). Seek out the Nealis Hall annex for a fine collection of Native American crafts, including intricately woven baskets from local tribes.
