The park is open year-round, 7 days, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. There is no camping. Day Use fee is $10/car.

What a GEM! Jack London is California’s first native born novelist and this State Park is a chance to walk in his footsteps and appreciate his creativity and uniqueness. From the self-guided walking tours of Wolf House, the Beauty Ranch, and his cottage to the more extensive hikes up to London and Fern Lakes, is truly a walk back into the early 1900s. Unfortunately due to Covid the museum house was closed, and a return trip when it’s open is a must. I never tire of this State Park and the history it contains. Always include a picnic lunch to enjoy on property.
2. General M.G. Vallejo Home

Historic home built by General Vallejo in 1850.

I found this place fascinating - a Gothic style house , prefabricated in the northeast, and shipped to be the home of Mexico's Commandante General when this region was still Mexico. The grounds are lovely and the house is well preserved, with photographs, furnishings, and the Vallejo family's personal objects. General Vallejo once owned thousands of acres in the Sonoma Valley - these few acres are all that is preserved of an important part of California history.

This is the name of General Vallejo's ranch. Full of California history. Beautiful setting a few blocks from the Plaza.
