On a recent evening, the windows of the historic Ferry House in Coupeville reflect a fiery sunset. The structure, built in 1860, is one of Washington’s oldest residential buildings and one of the signature landmarks of the Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve, a unit of the National Park Service. The Ferry House is owned by the National Park Service, which is celebrating its 100-year anniversary this year. As part of several events planned to celebrate the centennial, the Reserve is teaming up with the Coupeville Farm to School program from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. today at the historic Jacob Ebey House to celebrate farming and food and offer free Junior Ranger activities for children ages 7 to 14. The Jacob Ebey House is located a short trail walk from Sunnyside Cemetery in Coupeville.
