Historic Whidbey invites you to join us for an unprecedented chance to step into Whidbey Island's history with a tour two of Whidbey Island’s oldest homes: the 1852 "Fairhaven" and the 1859 "Anchorage." Originally built in the 1850s on the north shore of Penn Cove, the Swift Family log homes were carefully relocated log-by-log to nestle beside the Coupeville Town Park in the 1920s. Today, these remarkable homes are private residences, rarely open to the public.
Wander through time as you explore hand-hewn timber architecture, learn the fascinating stories behind the people who lived in the cabins, and connect with the rich heritage of the region. Meet the current owners, explore the lives of early homesteaders of the Washington Territory, and learn about the work of Historic Whidbey - stewards of the nearby Haller House and leaders in education, interpretation, and preservation of Whidbey Island's territorial heritage.
When: Sunday, September 14 (timed tours at noon, 1:30 and 2:15)
Where to meet: Coupeville Town Park, at Coveland and Broadway Streets.
Ticket Price: $75 (All proceeds benefit Historic Whidbey)
Reception to Follow. After your tour, enjoy a reception in Town Park, featuring music, conversation, and tasteful refreshments—an elegant conclusion to an unforgettable day. For more info and to register, visit www.historicwhidbey.org
