San Juan Island National Historical Park, National historic park in San Juan County, United States

The park spans 2,146 acres across two distinct locations, featuring coastal prairies, woodlands, and marine shorelines on San Juan Island.

The park preserves the American and British military camps established during the 1859 territorial dispute known as the Pig War.

Native Coast Salish tribes inhabited the island for thousands of years, leaving archaeological evidence of their hunting and gathering practices.

Visitors can access both American Camp and English Camp sections free of charge, with each location offering staffed information centers.

Park rangers at English Camp raise and lower the Union Jack daily, making it a rare location where US officials handle foreign flags.
