Jack London State Historic Park opened to the public in 1959 and is both a California Historical Landmark and a National Historic Landmark. Part of the allure of Sonoma Valley is this Park, boasting over 29 miles of trails across 1400 acres including stunning vistas and the historic buildings from the time when famous writer/adventurer Jack London called this his home. It is a particularly distinctive State Park - a diverse landscape to explore, a museum and cultural legacy to discover, and a magical place to experience. From the ruins of a 19th Century Winery to a 2,000 year old Redwood Tree, 14 feet in diameter, to the cottage where Jack London wrote, you feel a certain energy whispering throughout the Park. Jack London Park Partners (JLPP) was established by Valley of the Moon Natural History Association (VMNHA) to oversee management of the park. JLPP receives no funds from State Parks to subsidize the management and operation of the park and depends entirely on private donations to execute programming, maintain the grounds and administer operations. VMNHA was established in 1977 to support the interpretive needs of three Sonoma County Parks: Annadel State Park, Jack London State Historic Park (JLSHP) and Sugarloaf Ridge State Historic Park. VMNHA has played a key role in providing monetary support for training, coordination and recognition of volunteers who carry out the essential functions of these parks. VMNHA has also overseen the development of cultural and recreational programs, educational exhibits, signage and historical displays at JLSHP. Among the organization's accomplishments is the award winning restoration of the cottage that Jack London lived in after acquiring Beauty Ranch. In May 2012, VMNHA became the first non-profit to enter into an operating agreement with the State of California to prevent JLSHP from closure.
