Description:
Fort Humboldt is situated on a bluff overlooking Humboldt Bay. This remote military post was established in 1853 to assist in conflict resolution between Native Americans and gold-seekers and settlers who had begun flooding into the area after the discovery of gold in the northern mines. The park also includes a Logging Museum and open air displays of historic 19th-mid 20th century logging equipment including the Dolbeer Steam Donkey, “Lucy,” the Bear Harbor Lumber Company’s Gypsy Locomotive #1, and the Elk River Mill and Lumber Company’s #1 “Falk” locomotive.
