Throughout the country, state parks, historic sites, homes, buildings, museums, and similar institutions are struggling to continue operating. Because of general financial problems, many of these institutions are operating on a reduced schedule or in danger of closing. Some are being forced to sell off artifacts and property. Many will not weather these hard times without your help. Places Earth urges everyone to support these vital and important public resources any way you can. Please donate your treasure, time, and talent. Write to your governor and other elected officials telling them to find a way to keep state parks open. It will be your loss.

City of Eureka
All photographs taken by Kenneth A. Larson. All rights reserved. © 2009 - 2012.| While most major cities were demolishing their old out-of-date Victorian buildings in the mid-20th Century, Eureka was left behind and now the city is adorned with one of the largest collections of historic buildings in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. |
