As a toddler, I may have been through Eureka on a family camping trip, but I have no memories of the place. Of course I already knew Eureka is a historic town — with buildings dating back as far as the 1850s — but when I think of Humboldt County I normally think of giant redwood trees and beautiful rocky coastline. In this hour-long episode of Road Trip from 2004, Huell gets acquainted with a few of the businesses and locals who make Eureka and Humboldt County such a fascinating and historic place.

Join Huell in Eureka, in the heart of California’s rugged North Coast where he enjoys natural beauty, a colorful history and lavish Victorian architecture.
