Eureka is a fairly large city in northern California noted for its fine collection of old Victorian houses. We passed through here while driving the coast in May 2010. The old town is pleasant to walk but we were there on a Sunday and most things were closed - but it looks like it would be worth going back to.

10050 Cielo Drive (now changed to 10066), Beverly Hills: the house where the Manson Family cult slaughtered actress Sharon Tate and five others (including her unborn child, Paul Richard Polanski) on August 9, 1969. The murders were the basis of the 1976 movie, "Helter Skelter." Before the murders, this house had been the home of Henry Fonda and was the site where Cary Grant & Dyan Cannon honeymooned in 1965. (Since new buyers were reluctant to live there, in 1994, the owners tore down the original home and built a new 17,000 square foot Mediterranean villa on the same site.) See the map Here This was a fascinating headline for long after the actual crime in 1969. Vincent Bugliosi the prosecutor of Charles Manson, wrote a really great book about it called Helter Skelter.

I climbed up on top of a terra cotta type wall near the drive way and took pictures as the neighbor's Doberman was dying to chew me to pieces. I lost my photos from back then but it looked like this up Benedict Canyon Photo Credit It was fascinating up there and creepy too. This was the first thing on my list of things to do when I got to California. Up closer looked like this Jay Sebring is buried here in Southfield Michigan read his bio here on Find a Grave.
