Fodor's Review:

In the hills above Glen Ellen -- known as the Valley of the Moon -- lies Jack London State Historic Park, where you could easily spend the afternoon hiking along the edge of vineyards and through stands of oak trees. The author's South Seas artifacts and other personal effects are on view at the House of Happy Walls museum. The ruins of Wolf House, which London designed and which mysteriously burned down just before he was to move in, are close to the House of Happy Walls. Also restored and open to the public are a few farm outbuildings. London is buried on the property.
