Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve was established in 1978 in order to protect and preserve a rural community and its unbroken historical record of exploration and settlement in Puget Sound. It represents a unique model of preservation based on partnerships between government and citizens. The Reserve’s history is in the town, the farms and fields, roads, historical buildings and historic sites found throughout the Reserve. The story is not a thing of the past – it is kept alive by people who live, work and maintain deep connections with this place.
The Trust Board is a joint administrative board comprised of representatives appointed by the four Partners of the Reserve: the town of Coupeville, Island County, Washington State Parks, and the National Park Service.
