the possession of the Almira Enos family in California as of 1914. Legacy The area around Isaac Ebey's original homestead is today a living memorial to his pioneer legacy. Fort Ebey (established in 1942) on the west side of the central part of the island (just northwest of Coupeville) is named in his honor. The rich farmland claimed by Isaac and his father Jacob is still called Ebey's Prairie and is farmed to this day. Ebey's Landing, while no longer a docking port, is named for the beachfront located just below the still-standing Ferry House built in 1860. The Landing is now a National Historical Reserve and was the first NHR in the United States. External views of the Ferry House and the surrounding Ebey's Prairie can be seen in scenes from the 1999 movie Snow Falling On Cedars, depicting the homestead of fictional German immigrant, Carl Heine, Sr. See also History of Olympia Port Gamble, Washington Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve References United States Customs Service personnel Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve History of Washington (state) History of Island County, Washington History of Olympia, Washington Native American history of Washington (state) 1818 births 1857 deaths American murder victims Assassinated American people Deaths by firearm in Washington (state) Deaths by decapitation People murdered in Washington (state) People from Adair County, Missouri People from Columbus, Ohio People from Island County, Washington
