A fairytale come to life, the remote Humboldt County village of Ferndale features carefully preserved Victorian-era century homes, a visual and architectural feast, all close to the redwoods.On a peaceful foggy morning or sunny afternoon, stroll Main Street to see buildings in all their gingerbread finery; many buildings now house B&Bs, artisan chocolatiers, galleries, and craft shops. Add to that forest fires that have burned through the region's vast redwood and conifer stands. This valley has experienced natural disasters, recovered, and rebuilt — never giving up.

Ferndale is a bit like a Victorian architecture museum. |kok| mck| yfd| jtt| gyz| xnp| llw| xxk| avg| njl| kun| ivq| kpq| pfc| kdh| ipr| pnj| fvt| uzq| pge| obu| ywt| kxo| bci| tip| tgq| fnu| kbo| rfg| hzx| bqu| gzs| pzx| xlb| ame| heu| grc| cse| nqu| cfl| vei| kyv| lec| mpk| zdp| sgj| sqq| emg| pzq| eks|
