How well do you know your prairie history?
If you have some free time this Saturday, July 13, you can explore the “historic and mysterious” Engle Homestead.
The “most intact historic pioneer farm cluster on Whidbey Island” (and maybe the state) sits in the heart of Ebey’s Prairie.
Anchored by an 1858 Victorian house, there are 10 original farm buildings which were built between 1876 and 1955.
Preservation work is ongoing, and the Engle family is hosting an “open farm” Saturday from noon-4:00 PM, with family talks scheduled for 1:00 and 3:00.
You can learn more about the six generations of the Pearson-Engle family, in addition to tales about (really) old school farming life.
