   Telling the History of Whidbey Island: An Interview with Dalva Church

   I love places that love their history…and Whidbey Island is certainly one such place. In addition to the postcard perfect beauty of Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve, located just a scant 23 miles from my front door, the town of Coupeville is the location of a wonderful museum that embodies the passion for local history of its island community. In this episode of Tales of the Magic Skagit, I talk with the Island County Historical Museum’s executive director, Dalva Church, about the museum’s origins, her journey to its directorship, and current and upcoming exhibits (including a celebration of Whidbey Island’s maritime history) that are taking place in the wake of its recent renovations, as well as future aspirations. For the benefit of first time visitors, Dalva also explains how best to tour the museum.
