Humboldt County Historical Society

The Historical Society will be closed for the month of August. We will close Friday, July 30 at, the end of the day and reopen Tuesday, Sept 7, at noon.

During August we work on things that cannot be done when the Society is open. This year we will be refinishing floors, adding items to the collection, and working on other jobs. If you would like to help, contact us at hchs@humboldthistory.org or by phone at 445-4342.

There is no Historical Lecture in July or August. The next one will be Saturday, Sept 11 at 1:30

Humboldt Historian; Summer, 2010

The Summer, 2010 issue was mailed during the first week in June.

There have been many issues with the post office's new mailing regulations. Please let us know as soon as you know if your mailing address has changed. Apparently, there is no longer an automatic forwarding service through the post office.

The July newsletter was sent on July 13. The enewsletter is being sent every 6-8 weeks. If you did not receive it, please email us with the correct email address. Every mailing several newsletters bounce back to us. If you would like to receive this in your email, contact us at hchs@humboldthistory.org . Please include your full name, mailing address, phone number and email address.

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.
