Jack London Historical Park

The rollings hills and sweeping vistas of Sonoma county are enough to make anyone wax poetic. Jack London, one of America’s most famous and prolific writers thought so, and made his home on these 1400 acres of ranch and woodlands in Glenn Ellen. Now a historic state park, London’s ranch is open to the public. Peek into the writing cottage and see where the magic happened. Hike into the fir and oak forests and get glimpses of the Valley of the Moon. Tour through the “pig palace,” the barns, and the ruins of London’s dream home destroyed by fire, Wolf House. Pack a picnic—and maybe a London novel—and enjoy the grounds. Even if you don’t arrive a Jack London fan, you’ll be one when you leave.
