What is a Reserve? National Reserves are areas containing nationally significant resources in which Federal, State and/or Local Agencies, along with the private sector, work together to manage, protect and interpret the valued resources. Collaboration is key to the success of the Reserve.
Established by Congress in 1978, Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve is the first National Historical Reserve in the National Park system. The Reserve is managed by a nine member Trust Board, with representatives appointed by the town of Coupeville, Island County, Washington State Parks, and the National Park Service.
Per the 1988 Interlocal Agreement between these primary partners, the Trust Board is charged with the management and oversight of the Reserve.
