THIS A SMALL LOGGING TOWN WHICH IS A TOURIST ATTRACTION FOR MANY REASONS. THE ENTIRE TOWN LOOKS LIKE AN OLD FASHIONED MOVIE. OUR FAMILY STAYED OVERNIGHT JUST OUTSIDE OF TOWN. IT'S BEEN CALLED THE BEST PRESERVED VICTORIAN TOWN IN CALIFORNIA. WE LOVED IT! IT IS LOCATED ALONG THE LOST COAST OF THE PACIFIC AND IS WITHIN DAIRY COMMUNITIES. THERE ARE OLD FASHIONED CARS AND THE MAIN STREET BUILDINGS HAVE BEEN METICULOUSLY PAINTED IN METICULOUSLY VICTORIAN COLORS. THEY HAVE AN OLD FASHIONED MERCANTILE THAT SELLS ALL SORTS OF THINGS INCLUDING CANDIES. THERE ARE ANTIQUE SHOPS, ART GALLERIES, SPECIALTY SHOPS, AND A BEAUTIFUL NURSERY STORE. EVEN THOUGH IT LOOKS LIKE A FAIRY TALE SETTING IT IS AN AMERICAN TOWN WHICH TAKES PRIDE IN ITS CULTURAL HERITAGE. THE TOWN WAS INHABITED IN LATE 1800'S BY SCANDINAVIANS, SWISS-ITALIANS, AND PORTUGUESE IMMIGRANTS. THE ENTIRE TOWN IS ON THE CALIFORNIA HISTORIC LANDMARKS. WE NOTICED A WACKY PLACE WHERE THEY MAKE ALL KINDS OF MOBIL SCULPTURES FOR A KINETIC RACE. IT IS AN EVENT THAT THEY HAVE WITH MACHINERY THAT MOVES AND SCULPTURES THAT MAKE NO SENSE FOR THREE DAYS. CHRISTMAS IN THIS TOWN BECOMES MAGICAL.
