Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve

Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve on central Whidbey Island protects a largely intact rural landscape of nineteenth-century farmsteads, prairie fields, and shoreline bluffs that has remained in continuous agricultural use for over 150 years. The Prairie Loop Trail traverses open bluffs above the Strait of Juan de Fuca with views across to the Olympic Mountains and down to the beach below. The reserve is the first and only of its kind in the National Park System, designed to preserve a working cultural landscape rather than a single historical site.
