Jack London and his wife Charmian lived in the Cottage from approximately 1911 until his death in 1916. The Cottage and its adjacent stone kitchen date from the 1860s and were built by the Kohler and Frohling Winery. The Cottage was restored in 2006 and furnished with artifacts and furniture to appear as it was when the London’s lived there. The Cottage is open noon to 4 pm.
