Huell Howser was an American television personality best known for hosting, producing, and writing California’s Gold, a human interest show that aired on California PBS stations. He would explore natural wonders, historic landmarks, and quirky destinations in California.
Before he passed away in 2013, he donated his videotaped collection of California’s Gold episodes and others to Chapman University. The school established the Huell Howser Archives which offers the public free access to the entire digitized collection of his life’s work!
And yes, there is a story map! Just click on a location to get episode info and a link to the video to watch. As Huell would say … That’s Amazing!
UPDATE 5/3/2024: After many years, the wonderful app below is no longer working. Apparently it was created by a GIS consulting company that was not related to Chapman University and now they have gone out of business.

During the Great Depression, President Franklin D. Roosevelt promised the American people a “New Deal”. From 1933 to 1943 a constellation of federally sponsored programs put millions of jobless Americans back to work and helped revive the economy. The result was a rich landscape of public works projects across the nation. No city , town, or rural area was untouched. Hundreds of thousands of roads, schools, theaters, libraries, hospitals, post offices, courthouses, airports, parks, forests, gardens, and artworks – created in only one decade by our parents and grandparents – are still in use today!
