Humboldt State University National History Museum – This compact well-stocked museum (located on G Street) is a gem!
Make this your first stop to find out about the local plants and animals
of the North Coast – exhibits of butterflies, crabs, shells and sea
stars, plus a small aquarium tank with tide pool creatures. Check out the
really fine collection of fossils – ammonites, trilobites, fossil ferns,
and hand-on activities – a big dinosaur puzzle and fossil dig box where
budding paleontologists can practice digging. The gift shop has two local
specialties – a charming plastic yellow banana slug (you'll see banana
slugs on paths in the redwoods) and chocolate in the shape of a fossil chiton.
Don't save this for a rainy day – worth a visit. |
