Local historian and Humboldt County Historical Collections archivist Jim Garrison presents "Humboldt’s Lost Treasures” as part of the Humboldt County Historical Society’s Southern Humboldt lecture series, on Saturday, January 18 at 1:00 p.m., at the Redway Elementary School at 344 Humboldt Avenue in Redway. Admission is free, and everyone is invited.

Humboldt County which is increasingly dependent on tourism revenue, has a long history of losing, selling, and/or demolishing our historic resources. Take a whirlwind tour from the Courthouse to the Stump House and around the county, get a look at some of the history we have lost, and some that we might still save.

James R. Garrison is a local historian and the Collections Archivist at the Humboldt County Historical Society. Garrison grew up in Rio Dell and earned a degree in History from Humboldt State University in 2014, where he focused his research on the settlement period of Humboldt County. Garrison has authored a book: Images of America - Scotia and Rio Dell, published by Arcadia Press, and has written several articles on local history for the Humboldt Historian. 

To learn about Humboldt County’s lost (and soon to be lost) treasures, join Jim Garrison on Saturday January 18, 2020 at 1:00 at Redway Elementary School in the Redway After School Program room at 1:00 pm.
