Ferndale
Ferndale is a sightseeing stop in Ferndale, CA, part of the The Redwood Coast guide. Cost: free.
Main St · Ferndale, CA
Why you should go…
Ferndale's entire Main Street is a state historic landmark, lined with brightly painted Victorian storefronts and homes built by 19th-century dairy fortunes. The town still functions as a working agricultural community rather than a museum piece, with independent shops, a historic saloon and a small-town creamery. It's the gateway to the Lost Coast's Mattole Road.
