The new exhibit explores four aspects of this rich past: Susie Baker Fountain and the first graduating class, Humboldt State’s first Olympian, Elta Cartwright, KHSU and the Indian Teacher and Personnel Program (ITEPP). “Emphasizing the historical importance, multiculturalism and their connection to the local and worldwide community over these last 100 years, we are proud to help showcase HSU’s past and present,” says museum curator Ben Brown.
A reception will be held during Eureka’s Arts Alive event on Saturday, Oct. 5. From 6 to 9 p.m. The exhibition runs through the end of December. The Clarke Historical Museum is located on the corner of 3rd and E streets in Eureka. Two hour street parking is available surrounding the museum.
