Abstract

There is a shift that has been taking place in the west for a while now, and it is moving the focus of many National Park Service sites away from federal land ownership. This change revolves around the many controversies that come into effect when too much land is owned by the government. One of the categories affected by this shift includes that of historic preservation. Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve is one of the places that are addressing this change. Through a unique management setup, with the regular involvement of the residents, and various programs created to prevent such controversy, Ebey's Landing NHR is resolving many of the issues that other NPS sectors face today. It is a breathtaking cultural landscape that integrates historic preservation practices into the daily lives its community members and is a model for other sites to follow as this change reaches those areas.
