Our mission here at the Humboldt Co. Historical Museum is to spark a love for community history and activism for all generations to learn, grow, and enjoy. Through the wide displays and unique buildings from the county’s past, we hope to teach, inspire, and motivate visitors to take part in the art of history whether it be big or small. History starts with us and it’s our jobs to observe, find connections, and preserve it for future generations to explore!
