PLEASE VISIT US SOON

The offices and research library of the Humboldt County Historical Society are located at the former home of the late Helen Wells Barnum. Built by her maternal grandparents, Dr. and Mrs. Reuben Gross, in 1902, the beautiful two-story Colonial Revival style house was donated to the Society in 1993 through Mrs. Barnum's estate.

Our headquarters is staffed by professionals and volunteers. Visitors are welcome to ask advice on projects, and to use our extensive library to seek information.

Those visiting the Humboldt County Historical Society are reminded that the Office and Research Center are located in a residential neighborhood, and parking is often limited. When you visit, please consider parking in the metered lot at the corner of 8th and G Street, one block west of the Society. Those with mobility limitations are welcome and encouraged to park in the Society's driveway.  Otherwise, please be respectful of our neighbors.
