About Ferndale


Placed artfully and precisely in the middle of two independent Redwood Forest’s is a thriving dairy community that is the beautiful town of Ferndale California. Ferndale could quite possibly be northern California’s version of Austin and as a dairy community with plenty of cows and cattle, it seems like the adventurer is in the heart of Texas! This makes for a dynamic cheese industry as well as the place to be for a great steak! Vegetarians need not be concerned as most of the cattle are dairy and that means tofu burgers in most of the restaurants of Ferndale California!

Ferndale California is located on the National Register of Historic Places and Ferndale’s main street is a photographer’s paradise and one that the family will not want to miss. A vacation that is all through Humboldt County has to have Ferndale on its list of places to see. The architecture of the area is likened to the old Victorians of the East and this is exactly what the designers of the town of Ferndale had in mind. The early days post Gold rush saw an explosion for construction in the Humboldt county area. The townsfolk of Ferndale had a vision and this was to develop a town that was unlike any other in the region. What is left over from that imagination-creation is beautifully restored Victorians everywhere! Ferndale California is a photographer’s paradise with a photo-op around every corner.

The uniqueness of Ferndale’s Victorian architecture is not the only aesthetic wonder for this California village. The outdoor splendor, that is the pair of Giant Redwood Forests,’ will absolutely spell-bound any visitor and elicit an internal feeling of awe. That is only the start of any magnificent adventure to this area and the hits only get better as the exploration continues. The environment is a great reason to plan a vacation getaway to this northern Californian experience as there are many others. Ferndale California is loaded with amenities ranging from the exciting extravaganza that is the 4th of July Celebration and Fireworks festival, to the more intellectually appealing Kinetic Sculpture Museum in downtown Ferndale California.

The Ferndale California area is alive with cultural activities one is the Ferndale Museum. The museum chronicles the history of this wonderful and exciting northern California location. The artifacts that are presented in the museum will surely electrify the visitor and might even promote a little gold-digging for the family! There are no shortages of places to stay in the town as there are hotel rooms, cabins, and camping opportunities galore in this California-dreaming town! So pack up the battle-wagon and load the car as well for one of the best family vacations ever in Ferndale California!
