Old Grain Wharf
In 1905, this 500 ft wharf was built to accommodate the development spurred by the construction of Fort Casey. Today, the wharf boasts a cafe, gift shop, boat rentals and small marina, as well as an exhibit on Penn Cove sea life.
Upon their arrival to the island, the Ebeys set about building their home on their Donation Land Claim, which they called "Sunnyside." In 1856, they completed this small, tidy house. Maps, trail guides, and visitor information, along with interpretive panels are available at the house.
The historic Ferry House, built c. 1858, was a place where early travelers to the island, arriving by boat, could get lodging, food, postal services, supplies, and overland transportation to Penn Cove, where they could continue their journey by ship. Some mistakenly think this is the Ebey House, but that structure no longer stands. The NPS is working on restoring the Ferry House to preserve it for future generations.
