The Ferndale Museum has several unique collections, including over 4000 photographs focusing on the history and people of the area. There's also a complete blacksmith shop that periodically offers a live demonstration. You'll also see a collection of farm, logging, and dairy equipment on display. The purpose of the Ferndale Museum, as an historical and educational museum, is to foster an appreciation and understanding of the culture and heritage of Ferndale, the lower Eel River Valley and the area as far south as the Mattole River Valley. The objectives are to be achieved through the collection, preservation and display of artifacts that pertain to or were used by the residents of the area. The museum will conduct research and publish material of historic nature for the education and interest of residents and visitors to our area.
