Honestly if you've never been to Eureka and you only have one day, the regular driving around touristy stuff will probably be more than enough for a day. The whole town is almost like a UE location commercialized, with weird old buildings and stuff down just about every street.

yeah, on busy weekends you're better off walking and taking the trolly. There is also some really pretty country side out there if you get out of town a little but and just want to drive around. There is also...what is it called...Eureka West I think, a whole separate section of the town a few miles West near the lake that has some ok stuff that most people never see.

Turpentine Creek is the cat sanctuary.
More online investigation than onsite exploration these days.
