Ferndale,
California
(a
QuaintVillage)
Ferndale
was founded in 1852. It was the region's dairy center. The
preserved ornate buildings on Main Street are still called
"Butterfat Palaces." This picturesque historic
district is home to many fine galleries and shops. Ferndale
claims to have America's tallest living Christmas tree, a huge
Sitka spruce at the end of Main Street. It is possible to
see both Ferndale and nearby Eureka in
one day, but allow two days if you want to include tours or
excursions into the Redwood groves. |

Why
shop online?
Prices
and selection
are often better
from these Web
sites than in your
neighborhood stores. Many
of them offer
free packing and
shipping to
your
door or to your
gift recipient. So,
you can save
time, gas, and
money. Merchant
sites must
meet high security
standards to
advertise
on QuaintPlaces.com.
|
Did
you know?
When
you place an
order from these
merchants, they
contribute a small
commission to QuaintPlaces.com. These
commissions
do not increase
the cost of your
purchases. Only
purchases
made within a few
days
after
your
initial "click" to
their sites generate
commissions for us.
(Please do not delete your cookies.)
These
commissions, plus sales of our
own photos and cards, are
necessary
to help defray the
cost of maintaining QuaintPlaces.com,
which currently
operates at a loss.
Your
purchases will
help us provide
more
information
and photos about
quaint places.
