- Behrens-Eaton Museum also offers tours on occasion at 1520 West St, Redding. The museum reflects a Victorian home of the early 1900’s. Four generations of the Behrens Eaton family lived there, from 1898 until Judge Richard Eaton’s death in 2003. The judge left a trust dictating that his home be turned into a Victorian museum to show future generations what a family home of that era looked like. His will stipulated that the governors establish a repository of historical books, artifacts, letters, illustrations, photographs and papers that are symbolic of Eaton’s professional career and his public life relative to Shasta County and California history. There are display museums at 1939 Butte St. just north of the Behrens-Eaton Museum. Admission is free. Donations are accepted. For more information, call 241-3454.
