Jack London, author of The Call of the Wild and White Fang, bought a cottage in 1911 in what is now known as the Jack London State Historic Park. It’s located near Glen Ellen, California. He wrote several of his stories and novels on the property, which also housed many of his visitors.
The park also features the ruins of a house that burned down before London and his family moved there, another home they had built, and the author and his wife’s graves. The property has been deemed a National Historic Landmark. London died on the sun porch of the cottage on Nov. 22, 1916.
