Ebey's Landing
Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve is located in the heart of Whidbey Island. The first historical reserve in our nation, Ebey’s Landing includes 22 square miles of a cultural landscape. Within the Reserve boundaries is the historic town of Coupeville, working farms, scenic open space, hiking trails, and two state parks. A unit of the National Parks Service, the Reserve was established in 1978 by Congress “to preserve and protect a rural community which provides an unbroken historic record from…19th century exploration and settlement in Puget Sound to the present time.” The vistas, woodlands, and fertile prairies of the Reserve are much the same today as they were over 100 years ago when New England sea captains were drawn to Penn Cove and farmers to Ebey’s Prairie. We welcome you to explore the Reserve and visit the parks and public use areas.
National Park Service passports can be stamped at the Coupeville Visitor Information Center @ 107 South Main and the Island County Museum in Coupeville, located at the corner of Front Street and Alexander, the museum is open Monday through Saturday 10am-5pm and on Sunday from 11am-5pm.

Casey State Park and at our administrative offices located by Sunnyside Cemetery.
