Redding California

 Michael ever the tour guide planned our trip with these adventures...

First stop Behrens-Eaton House Museum. The home was built in 1895 and sold to Charles Behrens in 1898. Richard Behrens Eaton was born 1914. He graduated from high school in 1930 at the age of 15. He attended Stanford earning his law degree. Richard served in the military from 1940-1946 and remained in the reserves until 1974. In 1951 Richard was appointed a Superior Court Judge of Shasta County a position he held for 25 years. He died in 2003 in this home at the age of 88 after living here for 84 years. Since he spent so much of his life here, he wanted his home to be preserved as a Victorian museum. 

Continuing on my quest to visit local libraries, this is the Redding Library which was quite big and impressive.

Debra's backyard. She has a lovely deck with a table and chairs. We enjoyed our time outside.

On our long journey home, we stopped in Sacramento for the day. We did the self-guided State Capitol Museum. I don't think I have ever been before or at least I don't remember any school trips here. We also went to the Museum of Medical History which is run by Sierra Sacramento Valley Medical Society. There was a lot of stuff.

A good time was had by all. We look forward to going back and visiting again.
