  As a native of Southern California, I am often amazed at how diverse California’s scenery is — from beaches to deserts and mountains, cities to rural areas — all in one state! Ferndale is truly a town trapped in time. Thank you for showing us around, Jeff and Sarah!

  Significance of coins on Military grave. <br>A penny means you visited. A nickel means you and the deceased veteran trained at boot camp together. A dime means you and the deceased veteran served together in some capacity. A quarter is very significant because it means that you were there when that veteran died

  Ferndale is a quaint small community that has the look of European communities. It looks alot like parts of Ireland.<br>Thanks Jeff and Sarah for showing us Ferndale and all the nuances of the area.<br>That old bank saw alot of gold come through; it would be nice to go back to gold coins again.

  I grew up in Ferndale. My mother still lives there and I visit often. You said you noticed all the markers in the cemetery for the veterans. The local Boy Scouts put US Flags in all of the markers for Veterans Day. It’s really beautiful seeing all the flags knowing all those people served our country.

  In 2009 I was on a road trip from Willetts, (gateway to the redwoods) to Crater Lake, I heard about Ferndale and had to stop and spend a few hours there. So glad I did. Beautiful town and I appreciate how you always have those insightful stories to convey, Thank you, Mr. Jeff!

  Hi Jeff and Sarah! I had no idea that Ferndale was such a cool little town. Thanks for taking us along. Sarah, don&apos;t sell yourself short. True, anybody can point a camera and take a video, but the ones who stand out are the ones that know what they like and capture it. 🙂 My best to you both and thank you for all the hard work!

  Thanks for sharing. My daughter graduated from Humboldt State with a degree in geology. She fell in love with the area and has side jobs throughout the county with Ferndale being the home to some of her clients, not to mention a lot of earthquakes, as 3 tectonic plates meet near Ferndale. Black sand beach, the town, and the cemetery are awesome landmarks.

  Ferndale is an architecural treasure trove! And a backlot to boot! I love old towns like that.The only place I have been with a comparable number of Victorian homes still standing is Lynchburg, Virginia. Thanks for the tour!
