Fort Humboldt State Historic Park Details
If you are a fan of military history, then a visit to this state park is a must. This park was the site of the former Fort Humboldt military fort, which was built in 1853 to mediate conflict between white settlers and Native Americans. It was also here where a young former President of the United States, Ulysses S. Grant served while in the military. Out of the 14 structures that were built, only one (a hospital) remains. It is now a museum that documents the history and importance of the fort.
