The Jack London Cabin & Center in Dawson City, Yukon Territory in

Just up the street is the
Jack London Cabin & Center.







Jack London, like many hoping to strike it rich came to the Yukon in search of gold.
He staked his claim on October 6, 1897 and recorded it on November 5, 1897 in
Dawson City.

On April 5, 1969, Jack London's Cabin was located by Dick North, Museum Consultant on Jack London Memorabelia for Alaska and Yukon Territory; Actor Eddie Albert; Sgt. Ralph Godfrey, Handwriting Expert with the Oakland County Police Department; Fred Reiker, Public Relations for the Port of Oakland; and Jack Williamson, motion picture producer.

This replica cabin is built with half

the logs from Jack London's cabin,

which was located on the North

Fork of  Henderson Creek.

The other half of Jack London's cabin is in his hometown of Oakland, California.

The cabin is furnished with

the necessities of a

prospector's life.

Eric took a picture of me on

 the porch of the Museum.

We received one free $6.00 admission because we had passes to Diamond Tooth Gerties Gambling House.

Jack London's writings on the Yukon Territory and Gold Rush inspired and amazed the readers of his day. The stories he penned have survived the test of time and continue to enthrall new readers.  Call of the Wild, Sea Wolf and other stories have been made into TV mini series, TV movies and feature films.
