Eureka Audio Tour: Mansions, Masterpieces & Maritime Tales
Look up at the swirling turrets of Eureka’s Carson Mansion and you’re staring at the most photographed Victorian in America—but beneath those ornate peaks lurk secrets no camera has ever captured. This self-guided audio tour winds you through Eureka’s storied streets, unlocking hidden corners, bold stories, and art-filled havens many travelers stroll right past. Discover the dramatic, the eccentric, and the uncanny that pulse through each landmark’s bones. Why did a simple builder suddenly become a power broker inside the E. Janssen Building? What chilling betrayal once splintered alliances beneath the chandeliers of Carson Mansion? Could a single artwork in the Humboldt Arts Council have upended city politics? Move through shade-dappled avenues and under intricate facades as Eureka reveals itself in flashes of rebellion, intrigue, and artistic obsession. Every turn brings another chance to see the city anew. Press play and confront what lies beyond the painted woodwork.
