Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve is located on central Whidbey Island off the coast of western Washington. The Reserve is a new kind of national park in that the 25-square-mile reserve encompasses a mixture of federal, state, county, and private property, all managed in a way that preserves its historic essence. In fact, 90% of the reserve is private property, so respect landowners. There are also two state parks within the Reserve, as well as the historic waterfront town of Coupeville. The reserve was created by Congress in 1978. The people of central Whidbey Island urged its creation, realizing that the area's unspoiled natural beauty and many historic sites portray the dramatic story of Pacific Northwest exploration and westward migration.
