The San Juan County Land Bank invites the public to view the Tharald Historic Homestead on Shaw Island on Saturday, September 13, 2014. Meet Boyd Pratt, architectural historian, at 1pm at the Shaw Island School parking area, for a guided tour of the homestead, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is protected by a Historic Preservation Easement held by the San Juan County Land Bank.
The privately owned Tharald Homestead is a pioneer farm on the west side of Shaw Island. It serves as a significant example of early Scandinavian settlement and “Nordic” style architecture within Washington State. It’s one of the best and oldest examples of its kind to survive in San Juan County.
