History
Eureka is one of the best-preserved mining towns in the West. The well-kept promenade features a line of charming brick rowhouses and storefronts, and more structural icons standing as proud monuments known state-wide.
The Eureka Opera House was built in 1880 and served as a center for entertainment and culture in the region. It still hosts a variety of events, including operas, plays, dances, concerts, and other community gatherings. The building is known for its beautiful architecture and ornate interior, featuring a stage, balconies, and seating for the audience.
