State Parks, Historic Sites, and Museums need your help.

Throughout the country, important state parks, historic sites, homes, buildings, and museums are in trouble. Because of the recent rise in gasoline prices and the general world-wide financial collapse, state parks, historic sites, and museums are in danger of closing. Some are being forced to sell off artifacts and property. Most operate on a thin margin and will not weather these hard times without your help.

Places Earth recently encountered closed state parks in Arizona and California is threatening to close all state parks. The story is similar throughout the country.

Places Earth urges everyone to support these vital and important public resources any way you can. Please find a worthy local or distant historic site or museum that is in financial danger and donate your treasure, time, and talent. Write to your governor and other elected officials telling them to find a way to keep these parks open. It will be your loss.

City of Eureka

While most major cities were demolishing their old out-of-date Victorian buildings in the mid-20th Century, Eureka was left behind and now the city is adorned with one of the largest collections of historic buildings in the country. While the Carson Mansion is the most famous, approximately 800 national historic buildings attract tourist to Eureka.

The Pink Lady, which sits accross the street to the west of the famous Carson Mansion, was built in 1889 by William and Sarah Carson as a wedding present to their son John Milton Carson. The house is a Queen Anne Victorian designed by the Newsom Brothers who also designed the Carson Mansion. The façade is dominated by a large domed turret and surface undulation, both typical of the Queen Anne style of Victorian. The house is located at the foot of Second and M Streets and marks one corner of the boundaries of Eureka's Old Town which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
