One of the oldest residential buildings in Washington, the Ferry House was built in 1860 by Winfield Scott Ebey as a home for the children of his brother, after his brother Isacc Neff Ebey was brutally murdered and beheaded by Canadian natives. The old Inn is currently owned by the National Park Service. The Ferry House became part of the 17,500-acre Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve created in 1978 to protect the rural working landscape and community on Central Whidbey Island.
