A quick drive from downtown Eureka, the Samoa Peninsula is a great place to explore nature and history, and now, the Timber Heritage Association is starting regular open hours for visits and tours of Humboldt's premier timber and railroad museum! Come by Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays from 10 AM to 4 PM. Volunteers are on hand to arrange a guided tour or point you in the right direction for self-guided explorations.

THA is a working museum with static, live, and under-construction displays. It also has ongoing, large industrial projects. It isn’t your average static museum but a living, breathing historical shop facility with roots in 1893!

It's almost that time again...the Kinetic Sculpture Race splashes down in Eureka on Sunday, May 25! A local tradition since 1969, the Kinetic Sculpture Race is a captivating spectacle where human-powered, amphibious sculptures embark on a journey through Humboldt County. These elaborate art machines, propelled by their dedicated "pilots," navigate a course that begins on land at the Arcata Plaza, transition into the waters of Humboldt Bay in Eureka, and then return to traverse the streets of historic Eureka before making their way to Victorian Ferndale. Join the fun by catching the water entry at the Wharfinger Boat Ramp between 9:53 and 11:53 AM on the 25th. Park along Waterfront Drive and walk over to the viewing area (it may be crowded!) You can also watch the water crossing anywhere on the Eureka Old Town Waterfront Boardwalk as teams head to the Samoa Bridge boat ramp and exit the Bay. Check out the Spectator's Guide on the Kinetic Grand Championship website for more details!
