Description
Historic feed stable in the Helena Historic District, Helena, CA. (I love the wildflowers in the foreground!) I found some interesting info on this place! Here's a quick little bit for you, from noehill.com!
"The Helena Historic District, located on the North Fork of the trinity River, is one of the oldest surviving pioneer mining settlements in California.
During the 1850s, Helena became the center of extensive gold mining activities and for over eighty years was the major supply center for mines on the Trinity River and its forks. Until the construction of Highway 299W to Arcata and Eureka in the 1930s, Helena was the end of the wagon road from Weaverville and was a major stopping place for miners and travelers.
The Helena Historic District covers 430 acres with five contributing buildings."

Wonderful capture of this poor forgotten structure, Laurie. I sure hope the buildings in the settlement are being protected! fl
