\Annual Historic Preservation Project The 2nd Annual Historic Preservation Project was a great success! Coupeville Lions and other volunteers learned historic building techniques, contributed to the preservation of the reserve, and had fun. The focus of the 2009 project was to restore the roof of the iconic Boyer Barn, possibly the oldest standing barn in Ebey's Reserve. Work parties were Monday – Thursday from July 20 – August 14. The construction was administered as historically accurate as possible. Contact Craig Holmquist, National Park Service 360-678-5787, e-mail us |  |
