Architectural Tours of Arcata    

HSSA is proud to present to you
three downloadable walking (and online interactive) tours of Arcata's Architecture. We divided our City into three sections:

• Touring North Arcata,
• Touring Central Arcata and
• Touring East Arcata.

Susie Van Kirk, well-known Arcata historian, has searched deeds, old newspapers, and local histories to bring together this information about Arcata's historical sites. Whether you are a visitor, a newcomer or a long-time resident, we hope you will enjoy learning more about Arcata's architecture.

Don't forget to first read the digest of Arcata's history: Historic Arcata. Then pick any tour and begin. Touring North Arcata and Touring Central Arcata are walking tours. Touring East Arcata can be also walked, but you might choose to travel it by automobile. Read about each building/site as you discover for yourself what's gone on in the past and what might happen in the future. What an easy way to get to know Arcata.
