| Ebeys Landing National Historical Reserve :- Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve provides a vivid historical record of Pacific Northwest history, including the first exploration of Puget Sound by Captain George Vancouver in 1792; early settlement by Colonel Isaac Ebey, an important figure in Washington Territory; growth and settlement resulting from the Oregon Trail and the Westward migration; the Donation Land Laws (1850-1855); and the continued growth and settlement of the town of Coupeville. Within the fast growing Puget Sound region, Ebey's Landing NHR has quickly become the remaining area where a broad spectrum of Northwest history is still clearly visible in the landscape. The historical landscape of the reserve appears to today's visitors much as it did a century ago, when New England sea captains were drawn to Penn Cove. Historic farms are still farmed, forests harvested and century-old buildings used as homes or places of business. FOR KIDS Fort Casey State Park is a great place for kids to fly kites, visit historic gun batteries and bunkers, run around, walk trails, throw rocks on the beach, and climb the tower of a historic lighthouse. Fort Ebey State Park is a great place for kids to hike the beach, visit a lake created by glaciers (Lake Pondilla), and ride mountain bikes. The Island County Museum in Coupeville has exhibits and displays of interest to children. The wharf in Coupeville is a fun place for kids-look for sea stars and urchins on the dock pilings or take a walk in the tide flats at low tide.
