Lore + London: The (Un)Definitive Story
Did Jack London Really Spend the Night in Port Townsend’s City Jail? JCHS Investigates a Local Legend.
For generations, Port Townsend has claimed a tantalizing connection to one of America’s most famous writers: that a young Jack London once spent the night in the City Hall jail.
But did he?
On Thursday, October 1, Jefferson County Historical Society (JCHS) staff will put one of Port Townsend’s most persistent legends under the microscope in Lore + London: The (Un)Definitive Story.
Come see the evidence and decide for yourself.
