The little Victorian village of Ferndale is a storybook village that takes you back to small-town USA of 60 or 70 years ago. It has attracted its share of fame because Hollywood recognized how photogenic it is. Several big-budget motion pictures have been filmed in Ferndale through the years. Now it is a place to have a nice lunch, or a coffee, meander through some art galleries, a blacksmith shop, take in a play at the Ferndale Theater, or go to the Humboldt County Fair, which makes its home in Ferndale every August.
