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.

Today the 3,400 acre park offers pristine natural landscapes as well as historic structures and exhibits that bring to life the former Imperial Russian settlement, early California Ranch era, and the Kashia territory. Our visitor center showcases a museum, bookshop, and an 18-minute video introducing the park's history.

Interesting history of the Fort Ross area. There is a small museum, a gift shop, a movie showing, and the Fort itself. There's also some beautiful views of the ocean.

Anyone interested in plants will enjoy this site commemorating the work of famed horticulturist Luther Burbank, who introduced over 800 new plant varieties, including the Idaho Potato. The site includes an acre of gardens with many of the naturalist's creations, a beautiful greenhouse he built in 1889, and his Greek Revival home.

This place is such a great place for the greatest American style Big Idaho Potato Truck visiting Luther Burbank Home and Gardens! I was laughing so hard, up until I got up close to the ENORMOUS fiberglass vegetable. So interesting facts aka food for thought lol. First this particular vehicle has an national route of 61 cities in a given year. Secondly, I personally met the first female of an 3 woman team, first time this year. One drives and the other 2 work the crowd at every stop. Thirdly, these potatoes they are promoting is gluten free direct from Idaho! Too fun to see something so different from the every day. Check it out! Only here for a limited time.

Historic home built by General Vallejo in 1850.
Reviewed By Bookistan5 - Brooklyn, United States
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.
