Even on an island that has escaped modernity and development better than most communities, the treasures of our cultural heritage are ever at risk of obliteration. Losses of these resources can degrade the character of town and landscape, so vigilant stewardship is a never-ending concern.
We at Historic Whidbey are preservationists, business owners, historians and educators with a common mission—preserving historic places and the important stories they hold.
Historic Whidbey is a Washington State nonprofit corporation and has been approved for 501(c)(3) designation by the Internal Revenue Service. All contributions to Historic Whidbey tax deductible where allowed by law.
Our inaugural campaign is to acquire and rehabilitate the 1866 Col. Granville Haller House in downtown Coupeville, the heart of Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve. As a contributing structure on the Reserve, the house is included in the Central Whidbey National Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places. Learn more about our campaign here.
