With its stately Victorians, Queen Annes and farmhouses, Humboldt County is like a sprawling open-air history and architecture museum. From Eureka’s looming green Carson Mansion to the Victorian village of Ferndale, our buildings tell their own tales.

In this issue, architectural historian Bill Hole takes you on a tour of treasures that includes a Ferndale church reborn as a music venue and a 19th century hall with a second act as a theater school. You’ll also get to know Jerry Rohde, a local author who’s made it his life’s work to research and chronicle Humboldt’s rich, fascinating and sometimes painful history.

Keep exploring with Perfect Trips as your guide and you’ll find beautiful, rustic fireplaces — indoors and out — to warm yourself after a hike, gorgeous works of Yurok art and a wild collection of some 15,000 stuffed creatures great and small. If you brought the kids (that includes your inner child), take them to an authentic lumberjack cookhouse for breakfast

and climb aboard some antique trains.

Smaller-scale design thrives here, too. We’ll take you to a mid-century furniPhoto by Mark mckenna ture showroom that would tempt Don Draper and share some of our favorite finds from area shops in Just Browsing.

And we hope you came hungry because we’re ordering up recipes at a classic Italian place run by siblings and a cozy brunch spot with Bloody Marys (almost) like Dad used to make. Oh, then there are home-baked scones from a cafe with an unexpected traditional kayak workshop in the back. Really.

End the day elbow to elbow with the locals over a beer made only feet from the bar. Hey, for all our architectural landmarks, that neighborly camaraderie makes for a pretty good foundation.

Spirit of a Place Jerry Rohde finds and tells Humboldt’s story

S

et in a pine forest surrounded by steep cliffs and rocky canyons, the town had a log cabin general store stocked only with canned food, a gravity flow gas pump out front and no electricity. “Seeing the living history there just fascinated me,” Rohde remembers.

“It was like we’d stepped back half a century in time.”

“That’s when the history bug hit,” Rohde reflects from a comfy chair in his tidy living room.

Through the window behind him, his wife and writing partner, Gisela Rohde, works in the explosive flower garden surrounding their house in a quiet Eureka neighborhood.

Gisela and Jerry met in San Bernardino County during college and moved to Humboldt County in 1979 because of the natural beauty and raw history here. Humboldt is a very different landscape from his native Southern California, where so much history is smothered by shopping centers and row houses. “If the land gets changed too much,” Rohde explains, “it loses some of the historical connection.”

As for Humboldt, “There’s history everywhere here,” Rhode effuses. “You can go out into the back country and find a lot of old ranches and barns and even pick up old trails.”

Because so much of the living history still stands, he says, “You can still feel the spirit of this place.”

Over the years, Rohde has taught with Eureka City Schools and lectured at Humboldt State University. He was also a research associate, historian and ethnographer for HSU’s Cultural Resources Facility. He served several times as president of the Humboldt County Historical Society and frequently writes for its journal. In “retirement,” he and Gisela keep busy with about 45 historical presentations a year throughout the county.

Working as a team, they’ve also written four trail guides. She would take notes about the trees and wildflowers and he figured out the history. Instead of just mapping trails, the books strive to give hikers what Rohde calls a “connection with the place” by juxtaposing an area’s human activity with its natural landmarks.

Rohde has dedicated his life to uncovering, compiling and sharing history — some that’s never been told. He says it feels like it’s what he’s meant to do. His research is thorough, approachable and well respected by his peers.

Not just limited to archival and library research, Rohde also gets his information from detailed on-site field studies and personal interviews. He even has a few history enthusiast buddies who keep an eye out for gems when exploring local attics and estate sales.

He disappears down the hallway and returns with a giant 4-by-6-foot map from just such a friend. He unfurls it across the dining room floor with reverent flair. Bending down for closer inspection, he says the map was handprinted back in 1911. He notes how beautiful the watercolors are. Names of prominent property owners of the day fill the colored blocks — names you’d recognize from street and buildings today.

Rohde says maps like this one are like snapshots in time and crucial in his research.

His biggest undertaking a four-part book series called the History of Humboldt County Places. Published in 2014, the first volume, Both Sides of the Bluff, covers areas in Humboldt’s west-central region around the Eel River Valley and Table Bluff. Heavy in the hand, it’s 400 pages long and includes a riveting collection of old photos, letters and plenty of stories.

Thirteen years into the research for the series, Rohde figures he’s about two years away from publishing the next volume, which will cover Humboldt’s southern regions.

The series begins in the 1850s, when white settlers first appeared in Humboldt, and carries through into the early 1900s. The first book highlights places and people of the time and reveals a newly transplanted community feverishly working to establish western infrastructure like banks and railway lines, schools and dairy farms.

Both Sides of the Bluff is interlaced with local Native history, as well. For Rohde, this is the most interesting information he finds. He says there’s so much we don’t know, “basic things like the real names of the local tribes, what →

their boundaries were and what really happened between the tribes and also between them and the whites.”

“That’s never been researched much,” Rohde says.

There’s a lot of unpublished information that’s been hard to locate because, he explains, “A lot of it has been suppressed or reported inaccurately. Deliberately so.”

Rohde reckons he’s doing investigative journalism 150 years too late. Motivated by his belief that we have a duty to the victims in the past — and also to the people of today — he is driven to try finding and telling the truth.

“A lot of people have very biased accounts of what really happened, or maybe not much of an account at all,” he explains. “People need to realize that genocide was committed against the Indians. It was happening for 15 years, it was calculated and no Indian was safe.”

He continues, “The effect that that would have had on them is just almost unimaginable to me, and yet these people — the ones that survived and their descendants — they’ve managed, somehow, to deal with that. For the most part, you don’t see that much anger.

What you see is a kind of acceptance, but also a desire for acknowledgement of what has happened.”

That acknowledgement would include things like returning tribal land to its people. “Some of these healing gestures can restore something of a sense of balance with the past,” he says, emphasizing that this means healing not just for Native people, but for white people, too.

“You don’t even have to be a descendant of someone who was implicated. I think any thoughtful, feeling white person feels a sort of burden on them.”

For Rohde, restoring that sense of balance is a great part of what history is. Getting to know a place and its people, and the history and spirit of the two, can shift something that happened in the past into the present. “This can have great power over what’s happening right now,” Rohde says. “It can influence people’s lives, I think, for the better.”

Fall/ Winter 2017

enny Metz first walked into the ballroom of the Eagle House while scoping venues for her children’s theater group. Captivated by the history, architectural quirks and vast potential, she came home and told her husband, “We should buy it.”

Two years later, destiny had its way — the Eagle House, operated as a hotel since 1888, was on the market. Metz quickly called her sister Rebecca Rex in upstate New York. Understanding the vision, Rex and her partner Tammy, both financial advisors, packed up and headed west. A symbiotic business partnership, the Rexes’ expertise in finance pair perfectly with Metz’s background in event production. Along with Metz’s husband, Tim, the trio of women purchased the Eagle House in April of 2017. Rebranding the historic hotel as the Inn at 2nd & C, the owners are excited to write a new chapter for the Eureka landmark. Off to a running start, the Metz/Rex family has enjoyed the busiest summer of their lives, with no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

Originally built in 1886 by Finnish immigrants Henry and Elvira Tornroth, the Eagle House started as a modest hotel. As Eureka grew, the Tornroth’s expanded the Eagle House’s “wings” along Second and C streets.

feature

After Henry’s death in 1907, the Eagle House was leased to Italian businessmen, who operated the Boun Gusto restaurant downstairs and ran a boarding house above. A raucous tavern, the Boun Gusto was a popular watering hole in Eureka for many years, until enduring a period of abandonment in the economic downturn of the 1970s. Years later, investors reinvented the Eagle House again, adding the now iconic central ballroom and a dizzying collection of antiques.

The Metz/Rex family took ownership and infused the place with a fresh modernity, bringing an entirely new light to the storied hotel. In each of the 23 unique rooms, beautiful views of Old Town and Humboldt Bay frame antique poster beds wrapped in organic linens. Ocean blue paint covers the hallway doors and each room is marked with brass numbers. Inside, architectural nooks are outlined by polished old-growth redwood and accented by

the subtle decorative touches of a nautical boudoir.

On each of the four floors, common rooms are filled with antique tables and fireplaces, welcoming guests to find a quiet corner to curl up with a book. In the ballroom, reclaimed wood and exposed pipes overlay a Victorian backdrop for an artistic, industrial vibe. The space invites imagination and revelry — a set for the many events Metz has already started coordinating at the inn. With dreams of restoring the inn’s central role in the community, Metz will host regular comedy and open mic nights, and there are plans to open a stylish wine bar next door.

With 129 years of history under its belt, the Inn at 2nd & C still has quite future ahead.

Humboldt Shining examples of historic architecture

low down and look around. Humboldt County is a coastal treasure trove of historic buildings and cultural landscapes. Our architecture sheds light on the history of the redwood timber industry and the people who immigrated and traveled the routes of the earliest indigenous tribes, shaping the county into what you see today.

Here are a handful of significant historic buildings — just scratching the surface, really — to tease you into exploring the other special buildings within their neighborhoods that embody local craftsmanship.

Ferndale to Blue Lake is a pretty large net to cast, yet if you have time to wander, you will no doubt find more gems than you even imagined. Maybe you’ll get hooked on historic preservation.

The Old Steeple 246 Berding St, Ferndale

Starting in Ferndale at one of the eloquent churches, the Old Steeple, as it’s known now, was originally built as a Methodist Church in 1871 on the corner of then dirt roads Bluff and Berding streets. This was only 19 years after the Shaw family built homes at the foot of Wildcat Hill, where Ferndale would be founded.

In 1901, renovations gave the building its current look. In 1964 the Ferndale Methodist Church combined with the Methodist Church in Fortuna and the building ceased hosting weekly religious services.

Though it didn’t quite make it 100 years as a church, now it’s the wonderful Ferndale Music Company and The Old Steeple concert venue. (Somehow the noise of music and people hasn’t stopped a family of owls from nesting in the steeple.) Keep an eye out for the upcoming reinstallation of the massive restored stained glass windows and learn more about this gem at www.ferndalemusiccompany.com. → humboldtinsider.com

Carson Building Third & F streets, Eureka

You’ve likely already seen the great green Carson Mansion in Eureka (and if you haven’t, get over to 143 M St. immediately). So shift focus to the recent and spectacular restoration of William Carson’s commercial building by the same architects, the Newsom brothers, Samuel and Joseph. Constructed to house the famous Ingomar Theater (which was closed for theatrical productions within a quarter of a century of its 1892 completion), the street-level storefronts have been restored back to original design, and two stories of offices on the Third and F streets

remain original to the building. Notice the outside corner with its round turret hanging over the sidewalk. Well, this was only reconstructed in 2015, after being removed 55 years earlier.

Stand and admire an amazing example of an award-winning old-growth redwood exterior restored back to its glory. The Northern California Indian Development Council, which owns the building and operates the gift shop in the corner storefront, gifted the community with this now beautiful anchor to the Historic Old Town District.

As you continue heading north, pull off at Arcata’s Samoa Boulevard exit, head east and around the roundabout, exiting north up Union Street to the corner of Seventh Street. The Historic Phillips House (71 Seventh St.) is on the knoll overlooking Arcata and the bay. Also on the National Register of Historic Places, this is one of the oldest surviving buildings in the county, dating back to about 1854. Historic Sites Society of Arcata volunteers have preserved the atmosphere of this “typical historic farmhouse” as a living museum. Arcata’s best example of Greek Revival architecture, the house displays the daily life of an Arcata resident between 1854 and 1932, with free tours available from 2 to 4 pm every Sunday. Look way down toward the ocean, along the northern shore of the bay, and you’ll see giant dairy and hay barns that continue to tell the stories of agriculture a century old.

For the last hop and a skip, make your way to the sunshine capital of Humboldt, beautiful Blue Lake, located northeast of Arcata. Take State Route 299 east about 6 miles and follow the roads into the heart of the old town business district.

The huge, red Historic Odd Fellow’s Hall looms large in the center of town. It replaced the original 1891 structure that was built only 20 years earlier and engulfed by the great fire that destroyed most of the commercial center of Blue Lake.

In 1974, Odd Fellows Hall became home to Dell’Arte International School of Physical Theater. It’s a busy place during the year, with students from a dozen different countries coming to Blue Lake to study and perform until the following summer. There are nearly three-dozen theater shows and close to a hundred performances planned throughout the year, including during the Mad River Festival in July.

Perfect Fall Trips

By Richard Stenger

Winter is coming … but activities still abound. Get fired up in front of old outdoor hearths surrounded by ducks and redwoods. Fuel up where young royals dine and old whalers pick perfect crab. Or feast your eyes on Yurok art and color saturated murals. Afterward, two trip trifectas await.

Fall/ Winter 2017

Outdoorsy Type As the weather cools, you may prefer to cozy up in front of a fireplace rather than enjoy the great outdoors. Here in Humboldt, you can do both. For starters, one can light up the logs in a pretty old growth redwood forest along the Avenue of the Giants, the California Women’s Federation Grove.

The so-called Federation Hearthstone (Avenue of the Giants, 3 miles north of the Humboldt Redwoods State Park Visitor Center), designed by famed Hearst Castle architect Julia Morgan, is an impressive work fusing four open fireplaces, each facing a different direction, with a central vent, cobbled together with big stones from the nearby Eel River. The structure is framed with thick redwood trunks and topped with a roof that provides shelter from the Julia Morgan's elements.

Federation The circa-1932 Hearthstone monument comfireplace.

Greg Nyquist memorates the purchase of the grove by women’s clubs throughout California, whose 45,000 members each donated a dollar to save it from the saws. Above the mantle of each hearth is a medallion inscribed with witty poetic words.

The grove, which sits on the banks of the Eel River, is popular for picnics.

Two solid redwood tables are each long enough to accommodate a family reunion.

In Eureka, buried in the depths of Sequoia Park on V Street (3 miles southeast of Old Town Eureka, next to the Sequoia Park Zoo at 3414 W St.), the last stand of old growth redwoods in the historic seaport, sits a curious stone floor with a giant hearth, a vestige of the Victorian era. The oddity, just east of the duck pond, is all that remains of a log cabin that delighted children for decades.

In 1953, a plaque was placed on the

hearth in memory of Rose Ivancich Walsh, who “liked a warm glowing fire.” You might be tempted to start one yourself. Can you? Hard to say.

It’s not an official barbecue spot like others in the park, but charred ash and cinders suggest recent use. And there are rumors a witch cooks her boiling brews in a pot hanging from the hearth hook. You might have to deal with her.

To reach the hearth from the parking lot, follow the paved path or most any of the unpaved trails and wander downhill. Listen for children or ducks in the forest and soon you will be there.

The third fireplace, an hour north in the Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park Visitor Center (127011 Newton B. Drury Parkway, Orick, (707) 488-2039), while not technically outside, remains a worthy nexus of fire, stone and outdoor adventure.

The rustic building, built by the Civilian Conservation Corp as a residence for the park warden in 1933, houses numerous items of interest: fragments of whales from the beach, a redwood stump with a Roosevelt elk skull and antlers buried inside, and a massive stone fireplace, where, come the cooler months, one might find center staff burning a few odd branches here and there.

To maximize the warm-up sensation, stroll first along the Revelation Trail, which starts just outside the back door, an easy mile-long loop that nonetheless features some of the most impressive trees in Redwood National and State Parks, a super tree park composed of one federal and three adjoining state parks. Or see the giants in a new and dimmer light during the annual Candlelight Walk in the Redwoods on Saturday, Dec. 2, which begins at the Prairie Creek Visitor Center and concludes with a welcome warm-up by the fireplace. →

Foodies In southern Humboldt, one may dine or drink at the same haunts as Clark Gable, Herbert Hoover, Cher and the King of Jordan: the restaurant and bar at the Benbow Historic Inn (445 Lake Benbow Drive, Garberville, (800) 355-3301), one of the grand dames of the Redwood Highway when both were completed in the 1920s.

Despite its many Wine Spectator and AAA Four-Diamond awards, the English Tudor-style landmark remains laid back and warmly welcomes guests of all stripes and stations, whether overnighting in the inn, which is on the national register of historic places, or enjoying the weekday happy hour.

One reliable lounge companion, Benbow’s permanent guest, a giant stuffed bear named Benson, will be sure to join you in a toast in the brand new bar crafted by famed custom bar builders Wallace & Hinz, a Humboldt business whose works appear in classy joints from Middle America to the Middle East.

Stay for dinner, put on some casual resort dress and enjoy the culinary creations of staff recruited from around the world.

humboldt insider

The grilled filet mignon is justifiably popular. So is the wine list with 450 selections.

Like the bar, the restaurant and kitchen have undergone complete makeovers without losing their historic ambiance.

The Ferndale Meat Co. (376 Main St., Ferndale, (707) 786-4501) has put the mmmm in meats for more than 110 years.

The butcher shop has kept the same family customers for generations, ranchers who bring their Humboldt grassfed cattle to the Main Street storefront for processing.

For the rest of us, local or no, the institution serves as Humboldt’s most popular deli, serving up inexpensive sandwiches with heaping portions of California’s freshest, healthiest carnivore food. Grab a few before a Lost Coast hike or dine in at a handle of tiny tables and admire all the 4-H pictures and certificates.

Food network host Guy Fieri worked here as a kid, loading beef jerky into the smoker outside. The current star of the place is owner Curt Terribilini’s Northern Italian sausage, made with equal parts beef and pork from a secret family recipe.

When in town, Guy chows it down with

Fall/ Winter 2017

mashed potatoes and apple sauce.

Come late autumn, two seasonal migrations begin in Humboldt: Dungeness crabs make their way toward fishermen’s pots, and those hungry for said crab find their way to Gill’s By the Bay (77 Halibut Ave, King Salmon, (707) 442-2554). Since the 1940s, this low-key diner, a few miles south of Eureka off U.S. Highway 101, has served up dependable comfort food for breakfast and lunch like country eggs benedict, fried oysters, clam chowder and grilled sole. But the pincers de résistance? Fresh crab omelets and sandwiches, perfectly picked with just the right blend of seasoning, mayo and cheese. As you work off the Dungeness delights, have a look at the old pictures on the walls of a handsome young whaler, Ben Gill himself, who just might be behind the counter pouring your coffee. Or stroll outside among the flowers, strawberries and birds on the patio and fisherman’s boardwalk, which overlook a pretty expanse of Humboldt Bay.

Art Lovers In the middle of Redwood National Park on U.S. Highway 101, the Yurok Country Visitor Center (101 Klamath Blvd., Klamath, (707) 482-1555) features traditional and contemporary works by local tribal artists, many for sale, like wood-block carvings, feather arrangements, necklaces and earrings made from natural objects like abalone and dentalia shells, and miniature baby baskets and rattles.

One new exhibit in particular has the staff abuzz — an apron used for dances that dates back to the 1700s. Composed of sea shells, leather and woven bear grass, the ceremonial relic travelled from Germany to the Smithsonian Institute over the centuries before returning to its rightful place in the Yurok nation, which runs along both sides of the Klamath River, the mightiest wild and scenic waterway in California.

The visitor center, built to resemble a traditional Yurok dwelling, is itself a stunning piece of work, whether the exterior, with its graceful curved lines, sloping roofs and

circular openings; or the interior, with its aesthetically awesome interactive displays, some of which decode the characters and symbols used in Yurok art and artifacts.

Eureka, anointed some years ago No. 1 in John Villani’s Best Art Towns in America, is not lazing about on its laurels. The historic seaport is coated in new civic art this year, particularly two giant twin murals in Old Town, which together make quite a splash.

The first recreates a busy urban Tokyo scene on a three-story Victorian storefront, the Art Center. Seems pretty random but there’s a method to the madness of creator Dan Kitchener, a noted London muralist whose outdoor works adorn three continents. He intends to make a reciprocal work in Japan’s capital city, featuring the California redwoods.

The second, dashed on by another popular UK artist, Duncan Jago, turned a wall of the St. Vincent de Paul Building into an abstract riot of colors. (Both are on G Street between Second and Third streets, facing

south to Opera Alley.)

Love or hate, share your impression with the nearby Black Faun Gallery (212 G St., Eureka, (707) 267-4297), which bankrolled both.

Dozens more murals populate Old Town, many by famed Kinetic Race and Burning Man artist Duane Flatmo, including his classic Dancing Girl on the west wall of the Arkeley Center for the Performing Arts (on F Street between Fourth and Fifth streets), the tallest mural in California north of San Francisco.

To exercise your eyes indoors, Humboldt State University’s Third Street Gallery (416 Third St., Eureka, (707) 443-6363), shows the works of promising local students and faculty, acclaimed Californians and established internationals.

The first room tends to be more risky, the second more accessible.

Dating Chaos – What to Wear

Micki Flatmo NOV 4 - DEC 31 Dating Chaos - What to Wear is meant to make visible a conversation that takes place between two artistic mediums when they are both used to express a single idea.

Painting and costuming - endeavors I have long enjoyed - are paired up for this exhibition and allowed to influence and transform one another.

The structure is simple: first a gesture painting is created that sets the mood and design parameters for the costume.

Then, the costume is worn by a model which in turn, inspires a painting. This process yields a set of three pieces that express a single idea."

The subject of the conversation though, and the underlying idea of all the sets is chaos. Each group of works attempts to demonstrate the various effects chaos has upon us.

Each one of us is dating chaos; things explode and we're all standing in the way of the blast; appropriate dress will ensue!

Eureka Named as Cultural Arts District in New Creative This newly launched program celebrates the state’s diverse and abundant cultural treasures!

The California Arts Council has announced the 14 districts that will serve as California’s first state-designated Cultural Districts, highlighting thriving cultural diversity and unique artistic identities within local communities across California. With the help of the Humboldt Arts Council, Eureka has been recognized as one of these districts!

Eureka Cultural Arts District Something for everyone to discover, surrounded by the redwood curtain.

ABOUT THE EUREKA CULTURAL ARTS DISTRICT: Surrounded by the redwood curtain, the Eureka Cultural Arts District features a wide variety of expressions – everyone can find something to love (and can say “Eureka!” when they find it), from murals to movies, theater to traditional crafts, galleries to historical museums, fine dining to great bagels. Skirting Humboldt Bay, the mild climate encourages walking and biking tours of public art, fine chocolate makers, local

breweries, galleries, museums, artist studios, cafés, and organic ice cream.

Every month, hundreds converge on Old Town and downtown for Eureka’s art walk, First Saturday Arts Alive!. Visitors can patron more than 75 open cultural sites and businesses displaying artworks or hosting musicians. Musicians, jugglers, clowns, crafts vendors, politicians, and community activists line the streets to reach out to passersby. At certain times of the year, crowds of people gather to celebrate the Redwood Coast Music Festival, Taste of Main Street, Summer Concerts, Tuba Christmas, Woofstock, the Perilous Plunge, and more.

With the Kids Parents go to the circa-1890 Samoa Cookhouse (908 Vance Ave., Samoa, (707) 442-1659), the last lumber mill eatery in the West, for a variety of reasons: the heaping portions of comfort food, family tradition, family-style service and to see curious colorized photos from the golden age of redwood heritage, with armies of mustachioed men standing atop stumps the size of Rhode Island.

But kids go there for one: fun. After chowing on French toast and biscuits and gravy, they run en masse into the cookhouse museum room. They stare at giant logging saws and blades, vintage dioramas, industrial-sized cooking equipment from a century ago and old typewriters and accounting machines whose keypads, for better or worse, they cannot resist plunking repeatedly with glee.

In the parking lot of the cookhouse, the Humboldt Bay Maritime Museum (77 Cookhouse Road, Samoa, (707) 444-9440,

Thursday-Saturday from Dec. 1-Mar. 15, Tuesday-Saturday from Mar. 16-Nov. 30) offers more adventures for burgeoning cabin boys and girls. They gravitate to the miniature models of tall ships, a real lighthouse lens, the most beautiful handcrafted redwood canoe ever made and, naturally, the handful of early 20th-century boat artifacts they can put their mitts all over, such as a hand-cranked fog horn that sets things astir in the small red cabin museum.

It won’t rattle the kindly volunteer manager, Winferd Grissom, who’s a tad hard of hearing. Back in the day, he was no stranger to making noise, having sold newspapers on the streets of Eureka for decades, calling out in his distinctive voice, “Paaaaaper! Paper!” He makes sure the kids see the toy compasses, which sell for a pittance.

After a cookhouse meal or a maritime museum visit, take a peek down the hill at the Samoa Roundhouse and Shops (Intersection of Cookhouse Road and Vance Ave., (707) 443-3957 or (707) 269-0286), which a century ago was the largest redwood lumber mill anywhere.

The sprawling yard houses hulking steam donkeys and other iron giants resembling dinosaurs, massive timber locomotives and historic train cars.

On many weekends, the volunteers of the Timber Heritage Association, mostly old men who are boys at heart, tinker in the shops, firing up old diesel engines or testing steam whistles. Introduce yourself and your kids and you’ll likely soon embark on a warmhearted tour through the timber heritage of Humboldt, where the modern lumber industry began.

The little ones favor the old caboose, where they can shimmy up to elevated seats for a panoramic view of Humboldt Bay, and the circa-1920s passenger cars.

Most of the 70-foot-longers need tender loving restoration, but the luxury dining and parlor cars are in fine shape and children cannot resist a brief sit at one of the antique dining tables to sample the imitation food.

Not Strictly for Tourists On the campus of Humboldt State University, hidden behind the Bio Sciences building, the Dennis K. Walker Greenhouse (near the corner of 17th and B streets, Arcata, (707) 826-3678) offers a warm refuge during the cool seasons. The 12,000-squarefoot, sprawling complex nurtures more than 1,000 botanical species.

The desert, fern and aquatic rooms shelter many exotic and rare plants that amaze the eye and nose, with whirling petals, hanging roots and carnivorous pitchers. But the main event is the subtropical dome, a geodesic-encased steamy Eden with banana trees, coffee bushes and more surprises to fauna over.

While rarely seen, the greenhouse is renowned (Harvard poached its staff to run theirs), free and open to the public. You can walk-in but best to call ahead to make

sure the staff can lead you around. Beware: Some plants have lethal toxins. Others you can imperil with a touch. And kids left unattended or underage (must be 7 and up) are fed to the giant Venus fly trap.

Ever have the feeling you’re being watched? Wander through one neighboring building and you will be — by thousands of eyes from around the world. The Wildlife and Fisheries Department (in the B Street alley between Laurel and 17th streets) houses a wildlife collection with 15,000 mounted, stuffed and catalogued bird and mammal specimens from about 50 countries, including 1,000 on display in the hallways. Strange birds with wing feathers longer than tails, a smiling Grizzly and snarling wolf, drawers and drawers of tiny eggs, arranged like stars in clear miniature boxes.

It’s not a morgue, but a library in which stu-

Fall/ Winter 2017

dents and researchers “check out” items from one of California’s best collections of things old, biological and beautiful.

Three notable stops on the second floor, the Stanley Harris Study Hall, where students cram under the watchful eyes of kiwis, emus, cormorants and eagles; the Head Room, a classroom ringed by exotic trophy game heads; and, Wednesday and Thursday from 9 to 11 a.m. or by appointment (707-826-4034), the main Wildlife Museum, tended by kindly curator Tamar Danufsky. To supersize your trip, stop outside the entrance to nearby Science Building C to see a sperm whale cranium the length of an RV. After this flora and fauna fest, head a block north on Laurel Street, go up the steps, to cleanse your mental palette with human creations in the Art Department.

First stop in Building A, the Reese Bullen Gallery (707-826-3629), which rotates HSU’s permanent, faculty and student works. Next up is Davood’s Garden, created by David White, a hallway connecting Art Buildings A and B, transformed into a kaleidoscope of colors, sculptures, shapes and textures — a whimsical collision between Barcelonan architect Antoni Gaudi and Eurekan folk artist Roman Gabriel.

With rare exceptions, these campus jaunts are limited to weekdays. However, one may call ahead to make special arrangements.

A door in the back of the coffee machine and counter opens into a shop with works in progress, including a hand built kayak. This working space for local crafters is called the Manufactory and it existed before the coffee shop.

“We hoped to become the creative hub of a creative community,” says Mind’s Eye founder and co-owner Marc Daniels. Daniels crafts custom Alaskan and Greenlandic sea qayaqs, the traditional skin-on-frame sea boats of the Arctic Inuit tribes, and leads boat-making workshops at the Manufactory.

The Mind’s Eye brews organic espresso and coffees from beans roasted by Humboldt Bay Coffee Co. I’m drinking a spicy chai latte ($4.25) with Leah’s house-ground leaves and organic Humboldt milk. It’s served in a stoneware cup by Ferndale potter Conrad Calimpong, fired in his wood-fueled kiln. Calimpong’s mugs are some of the local items sold at the Mind’s Eye. So are the crocheted “bralettes” crafted by local artisan Amelia Armas of Ethereal Faerie.

Boat-making apprentices now travel to Ferndale to hone their practice with Daniels, he says.

During one recent workshop, attendees built an iqyax in the style of the Unangax people of the Aleutian Islands. Other workshops can range from block printing to paddle carving, and are offered based on demand. They’re listed on the Mind’s Eye Manufactory website.

FAMILY BUSINESS Two restaurants with good genes

Good taste runs in

families. In Arcata, Halleh Paymard keeps her Southern California family’s restaurant tradition alive with breakfast, brunch and Bloody Marys at T’s Café North. And in Eureka, the Tanski family makes its home at Gabriel’s with Italian dishes and remarkable wines. → Brunch on the porch at T's Café North.

Gabriel’s 216 E St, Eureka (707) 445-0100 Tuesday - Thursday, 11:30 am to 9 pm Friday and Saturday, 11:30 am to 10 pm

Misheal Tanski handles the bar Saturday afternoon between a busy lunch and a jam-packed evening. Tourists wander in off the streets of Old Town for glasses of wine. A retiree from Colorado sits near a window, sampling clam chowder with a glass of 2015 Briceland Arneis from Southern Humboldt. She appreciates the chowder and the Arneis.

Tanski leaves the bottle.

The Tanski siblings realized a dream in 2000 when five brothers bought Tomaso’s Restaurant on E Street in Old Town and turned it into Gabriel’s. The number of partners grew to 11 — three sis-

ters and eight brothers — as more Tanskis reached adulthood.

“They’re pretty cool guys,” Judah Tanski, 23, says of his siblings.

“Honestly, we’re all partners as soon as we turn 18,” says Misheal Tanski. He’s behind the bar mixing a drink invented by Likhi Tanski, bar manager.

Misheal also owns Alta California Winery, where he crafts remarkable reds.

of dark polished wood and balcony seating with a view of a mural of Italy’s Amalfi Coast.

An afternoon apertivo — Italy’s happy hour — might include Chloe prosecco ($8) or the 2014 Nocavero Verdeca ($8). Cool wines. Warm sunlight.

With these, try bruschetta classico ($9) with tomatoes, garlic, basil and New Moon Organics cannellini beans, or the garlicky Manila clams with cherry tomatoes. The buttermilk fried quail is a dainty and flavorful take on a comfort classic ($21).

Gabriel’s wine selection includes more than 50 Italian whites and reds. For locavores, Likhi Tanski stocks 16 reds and eight white wines from Humboldt. The booze menu is also extensive. Likhi is “into rum right now,” says a sibling, Above: and, indeed, 31 rums are listed.

The mixing begins with Providencia rum, hibiscus liquor and Amaro di Angostura bitters. Add citrusy Velvet Falernum and splash of St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram.

Top with dark 151-proof Hamilton Guyana rum. Remind patron to stir before drinking.

For dinner, sample Italian wines by glass or bottle with any of a dozen house made pastas — like the fresh fettuccine Frutti di Mare with garlic and white wine sauce ($21) — or meaty entrees. The 2010 Mocavero Negramaro ($8/glass) or 2012 Matane Primitivo ($39/bottle) augments the classic spaghetti and meatballs ($21), featuring local grassfed beef. The rich polpettone (beef, lamb and veal) makes sweet love to your palate with the 2014 Pasqua Valpolicella ($10/glass). For both meaty dishes, you could also splurge on one of those Super Tuscans by the bottle ($139-$250/bottle). Drink the 2014 Mastrojanni Rosso di Montalcino ($45/bottle) with anything. Maybe a decadent serving of Sicilian rum cake ($10).

Misheal, a dual citizen of the U.S. and Italy, credits skill in food and winemaking with attention to the influence of places we call home. Excellence happens when you appreciate the melding of cultural roots with home environment.

“You like your place; you live in it,” he says, now pouring his own 2013 Alta California Bordeaux-style blend from grapes grown in Orleans vineyards. “And → this is what happens.”

Paymard, has been in the business of feeding folks since age 4.

Paymard’s father Moe opened T’s Café in Solana Beach in 1978 and Halleh grew up in the food biz.

When she was a preschooler, servers would pay her a quarter to refill jam pots on the tables.

Halleh Paymard came up north and earned a degree in botany from Humboldt State University in 2000 and stayed here. For years, she hoped to open a T’s eatery, Humboldt-style. She picked out the perfect location, a converted Victorian house on 10th and I streets in Arcata. But alas, the Crosswinds restaurant was already serving tofu burgers and buckwheat pancakes there.

A few years later, Paymard was dining at Crosswinds when the owner offered to sell. Paymard’s dream — T’s Café North — came true in December 2013.

Now a sign that says “I (heart) bacon” hangs over a doorway and savory sausage augments the gravy.

T’s still offers plenty of vegetarian options. Like the I Street Omelet with egg whites, roasted veggies, fresh greens, chevre and avocado ($13) and the Garden Scramble with broccoli, tomatoes, squash and jack cheese ($10).

A satisfying breakfast might begin with a Bloody Coronita ($10). T’s breakfast and lunch drink menu includes several Bloody somethings — like the Red-Eye Jedi with Pacifico — as well as a half-dozen fruity mimosas served in pint jars ($8).

Breakfast is served till T’s closes around 2 pm. The Shroomy Boomy Benedict, veggies, greens and goat

cheese atop English muffin with poached eggs ($13) tastes as magic as a Saturday morning at the farmers market with roasted broccoli, corn, green beans and fresh dark leaves.

The chèvre adds zing. For carnivores, the famed T’s Cafe chicken-fried steak (cube steak lightly coated Below: The I Street Omelet in crispy golden flakes, $14) with roasted comes with house made bisvegetables cuits and glorious gravy. and chèvre.

Let us pause for an ode to the banana stuffed French toast ($10), a tower of golden Beck’s Dutch crunch bread with narrow slices of banana, seasonal berries and a drizzle of rich banana syrup. It’s lighter than it looks. Share one for brunch dessert.

No one will judge.

The funky menu of T’s Café North resembles that of the Solano Beach location with a few Humboldt twists. Like vegan cashew gravy and a tofu scramble. Jars of ghee on the tables.

Paymard even tweaked her father’s famous Bloody Mary mix, eliminating the beef broth.

Pulling Back the Curtain

By Grant Scott-Goforth Photos by Mark McKenna

Redwood Curtain Brewing Co. is the best-known secret in town. Tucked in an unassuming business park on the outskirts of Arcata, it’s become a popular destination for Humboldt County beer enthusiasts and tourists alike.

But, says beer pourer Chris Galleron on a bustling Sunday afternoon, locals still frequently visit the tasting room for the first time, declaring, “This is my new watering hole!”

It’s easy to see why. Redwood Curtain offers a constantly rotating selection of beers all brewed on the premises. There are more than 20 to choose from at any moment, from its flagship Imperial Golden Ale (IGA), Belgian styles and IPAs, to a

series of barrel-aged fruit-based sours dubbed the “Funky Notion” series.

Personal favorites include the Dry Irish Stout (get it on nitro, if you can) and the Dusseldorf Altbier, a toasty, German-style brew that earned Redwood Curtain a silver medal at the Great American Beer Festival.

If it’s your first time, go for the flight, where you can try a wide range of styles. Or, if you’re a hophead (like certain people in my family), you can get a flight of the IPA styles brewed with different combinations of hops.

It’s easy to forget Redwood Curtain is only 7 years old. The brewery’s original tasting room was a cramped space under staircases and fermenting tanks. Two years ago it expanded into the warehouse next door, creating a welcoming, airy, industrial chic beer-themed playroom. It’s the polar opposite of a dive bar, with high ceilings, big windows, long wood-slab tables and polished concrete floors. You can see the brewery at work 24/7 through big glass windows behind the bar. If the staff isn’t actively brewing, there’s something fermenting in there.

Redwood Curtain fans come in all types: students, locals, tourists and more. Kids are welcome, and there are almost as many game boards as stained coasters on the tables on any given day.

2017 BEST NEW RESTAURANT truck favorite — rolls up every afternoon, serving savory seafood meals that complement the beer. Music and other events — like fundraiser nights where beer sales support local nonprofits — often entertain into the evening.

Galleron says an atmosphere of respect makes the brewery a Humboldt favorite. It’s a mellow, friendly place where it seems like half the patrons know each other. That feeling begins with the unpretentious bartenders, a knowledgeable and outgoing crew.

Redwood Curtain is expanding slowly to ferment even more beer. Its brews show up in more than 40 taphouses and restaurants in the Bay Area, as well as around here. But there are still no plans to bottle — if you want to take beer away, bring your growler (or buy one there). Keeping the beer in-house lends it some intimacy, the community experience of its tasting room, which might be the perfect pairing to great beer.

Redwood Curtain’s tasting room opens every day at noon. Located across from the Arcata Marsh, it’s a great way to carbo load for a birdwalking trip or unwind away from the sometimes bustling downtown Arcata watering holes.

Eureka’s historic Old Town is known for its beautiful Victorian architecture, independent bookshops and quirky locals. In recent years, several of Eureka’s lumbering old hotels and redwood office buildings have been restored, breathing fresh life into the city. Amid this makeover, the northern end of Eureka has quietly carved out space for high-end furniture and home design, like Mid Century Humboldt, buttressed by an imported rug store and art gallery. Stepping inside is a heuristic break from everyday life into a highly stylized world that soothes the busy mind. → humboldt insider Fall/ Winter 2017

Eames and beyond in the Mid Century showroom.

“Mid-century can mean everything from spaceage to Danish modern,” explains shop owner, Zach Zinsmann. A self-taught enthusiast of the refined style of America’s mid-century, Zinsmann owns and operates Mid Century Humboldt with his wife, Betsie. After running an online store for two years, the couple opened shop in Eureka in 2016, relocating to their current location last April. The showroom is set to move again by mid-Novemeber ­— just a stone's throw to 520 Second St. Both originally from southern California, the Zinsmanns have called Humboldt home for more than 10 years. While renovating their Craftsman bungalow in Eureka, close friends turned them onto the mid-century modern style and they were hooked. Quickly going from casual collectors to scouring estate sales down the West Coast, today, the Zinsmanns are experts on mid-century modern furniture.

“We focus on making all our products turnkey, reupholstered and refinished,” says Zinsmann.

While he’ll spend days on the road hunting down new pieces for the shop, nothing goes on the floor without a serious upgrade. Zinsmann refurbishes most pieces himself but occasionally collaborates with local woodworkers Anthony Kahn and Joseph Amaral, who build custom tables and bars to compliment the retro pieces on the showroom floor.

“This furniture was made to stay forever,” explains Zinsmann. Mid-century modern furniture comes from an era when Americans bought a sofa once, expecting it to last a lifetime. In today’s consumer culture, the marketplace is flooded with cheap commodities made overseas, furniture included. For those conscientious about their eco-footprint, purchasing up-cycled furniture is a great option for a long-term investment. Many of Mid Century Humboldt’s customers start by purchasing a collector’s piece and shaping their home’s design around it. And the Zinsmann’s are happy to help Humboldt County bring more unique and sustainable style into everyday life.

REDWOOD NATIONAL PARK

Just north of Trinidad, Patrick’s Point State Park calls, with stunning vistas, traditional Yurok structures and the appropriately named Agate Beach. Farther up, Orick is the hub for plenty of trails and camping possibilities. Start at the Kuchel Visitor Center, staffed by the National Park Service, and pick your Redwood National Park adventure, whether it’s the epic Tall Trees Grove, the dreamy Ladybird Johnson Grove, the Skunk Cabbage Trail or the must-see wonder of Fern Canyon.

Trinidad Trinidad’s iconic lighthouse is a symbol of the town where Humboldt County’s fishing past lives on. Every day, the boats that dot the small harbor’s moorings scour the sea among dramatic, rocky outcroppings. For a look back, tour the Trinidad Museum, then stop at the smaller Memorial Lighthouse and take in the view and the sea air. Trinidad Art Night fills the little town with music, food and local artwork every first Friday of the month, and the annual Fish Festival and Blackberry Festival bring in folks from all over.

McKinleyville The sign says horses have the right of way, which should give you an idea of McKinleyville’s vibe. Some of its biggest attractions are outdoors. Play with the kids in Hiller Park and hike or bike the paved Hammond Trail. Ditch your shoes and spend the day at Clam Beach (yup, there are clams out there for the digging) kayaking, paddleboarding or just relaxing among the dunes. There’s a course if you’re itching for a round of golf, and there’s even a sweet, little waterfall tucked along the road into town. Already visited the world’s biggest ball of string?

Swing by the world’s tallest totem pole.

And on McKinleyville Arts Night, the third Friday of each month, you can tool around town and see what local artists, artisans and musicians young and old are up creating — maybe even take a piece home.

The town’s motto is “river fun in the mountain sun.” Willow Creek is hot enough for wine making or a cool dip in a Camp Kimtu swimming hole. The weather also means great produce at roadside stands. If you’re adventurous, you can throw on a vest and do some river rafting, and more leisurely types can fish or play a round of golf. Just keep your eyes peeled, because this is Bigfoot country. Swing into the China Flat Museum and explore the lore.

Humboldt residents socked in by summer fog know that they can generally find truth and relief in Blue Lake’s motto: “sunshine and sea air.”

Where the Mad River takes its final stretch toward the Pacific, a small community of 1,200 displays an international reach. Once sawmills ruled, but now the Dell’Arte International School of Physical Theater imports students from around the world to learn the craft of commedia dell’arte and perform dramas and old-school clowning year round.

Cruise the plaza for Saturday's farmers market or a festival. Go from locavore to exotic in the restaurants and cafés. At night, the bars, theaters and restaurants are stages for live music for every taste — from big name performers to hometown legends. The music spills into the streets and shops and restaurants turn into galleries during Arts Arcata!, the second Friday of every month.

Fall/ Winter 2017

This place is full of stories. Once a raucous lumber town and fishing village, early Eureka bustled with saloons and brothels, along with a hardy mix of rugged entrepreneurs looking to settle the North Coast. Jack London himself is said to have taken a swing in a barroom brawl in Old Town. Today, the boats still bring crab and salmon to the docks, and historic buildings at the edge of Humboldt Bay form a walkable enclave of places to browse, drink and dine. Slow down with a stroll along the waterfront trail or lean on the railing of the Old Town boardwalk and watch the boats go by. And don’t miss Arts! Alive, the first Saturday night of each month, when the streets fill up with folks touring the shops, restaurants and galleries for local art and live music.

Recognized for its innovative seasonal menus, farm-to-table philosophy and superb service.

Ferndale There’s a reason Hollywood keeps coming to film in Ferndale. It’s an idyllic American small town that hasn’t lost its character. (You might recognize Main Street’s Victorian architecture from movies such as The Majestic and Outbreak.) Ferndale’s downtown offers plenty to explore, including artist galleries, old-fashioned shops, classic restaurants and the Ferndale Museum.

Grab a coffee and window shop the vintage storefronts and take photos of the Gingerbread Mansion, or put on your hiking shoes and take in the view from the bluffs in Russ Park or Centerville Beach. Downtown or in the great outdoors, it’s a trip back in time.

In the heart of the redwoods, just 18 miles south of Eureka on US Highway 101, sits “the friendly city” of Fortuna. Enjoy a hike to the headwaters or a peaceful stroll along the Eel River on Fortuna’s riverwalk. Did you bring the dog? Fortuna’s got you covered with a brand new dog park for your traveling companion. How about the kids? Hit the Depot Museum for vintage train fun and lace up your roller skates at the Firemen’s Pavilion.

And every month, Fortuna’s First Friday arts night brings the townspeople out for an evening of strolling and socializing along historic Main Street.

Even those of us who live among redwood giants look up now and then in amazement. Driving along the Avenue of the Giants shows you something new around every corner, something photos and video can’t quite do justice.

We lean on words like “majesty” and “breathtaking,” but you kind of have to be there under the ancient, towering canopy to really get it. Take it slow and plan to make a few stops. (Are you not going to stop and see chainsaw sculptures? Please.) From kitsch to fine woodwork, the shops along the Avenue are their own local attraction.

South of the Avenue of the Giants lies Garberville, where you can escape the coastal fog, enjoy warmer temperatures and hit the farmers market for a treat.

The little town has a surprisingly robust nightlife scene and a wild and beautiful landscape of hills and forest that you can sample in Tooby Memorial Park. Check the calendar and see what’s playing at the Mateel Community Center in neighboring Redway — the venue regularly brings in major musical acts and puts on some of Humboldt’s biggest festivals, including Reggae on the River.

Fall/ Winter 2017

Shelter Cove Aptly named the “lost coast,” Shelter Cove is nestled in a stretch of beach that offers a natural retreat tucked away in its own world. Accessible by sea and air, the town has one road in and one road out.

Once there, enjoy fishing, hiking, boating, golf, excellent lodging and camping options. Settle in for winter storm watching, whale watching or a hike along a unique, 24-mile stretch of black sand beach. A natural coastline unfettered by highways and the normal coming and goings of humanity make Shelter Cove a singular American destination.
