Eureka Waterfront
|
The Eureka Waterfront is a place for casual strolls, shopping in small unique shops and watching seals and birds at the water's edge. Horse-drawn carriage rides are available during part of the season and Santa can be found at the city square throughout December.
Eureka boasts a colorful heritage as a logging town and seaport. Our rich history can be relived at our
historical parks, including a Victorian saw mill still producing custom woodwork. Across Eureka's bay sits the last operating lumber camp cookhouse in the western United States, the Samoa Cookhouse.

The Carson Mansion on the Eureka Waterfront
|
Today the city remains colorful as a magnet for the visual and performing arts. These arts are expressed in street murals, outdoor summer concerts, a plethora of galleries, and even holiday caroling.
America's most photographed Victorian, the historic Carson Mansion, is the principle landmark of Eureka. Constructed in 1885 by William Carson this forest green marvel was once called "The Redwood Castle." Now home to a private club, the mansion remains the central focus on the Eureka waterfront and an architectural wonder.
