Read Call of the Wild, then visit Jack London State Historic Park in Glen Ellen, the bucolic ranch and cottage where the author hiked, rode horseback, contemplated, and wrote some of his famous adventure stories. The famous author lived his last years here, from 1905 until his death in 1916. Once part of London’s Beauty Ranch, now visitors come from all over to see the museum in the “House of Happy Walls,” built by London’s wife in a peaceful grove of redwoods. Visitors can also take a short walk to see the dam, lake and bathhouse London built, or take a different path to the Valley of the Moon or London’s grave.
