Ebey’s House at Ebey’s Landing

After making the trek across the Oregon Trail in the early 1850s to reunite with their son Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, and their children Mary, Ruth, and Winfield began building their home atop what we call today “Ebey’s Landing” in Coupeville.  This scenic location looked over the incredible Admiralty Inlet and to their son Issac’s home across the way. They grew wheat, oats, and potatoes and raised chickens, pigs, oxen, horses, and dairy cows on their 320 acres. The main home and blockhouse still stand today. While closed most of the year, they are open to the public from Memorial Day to Labor Day under volunteer guidance. Other blockhouses can be located throughout the town of Coupeville.
