HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE

Built in 1889 by Charles Anzon Wood, a founding member of the Puget Sound Cooperative Colony, this farmhouse tells a story of adventure and community. Inspired by a little red book promising an Eden-like land, the Wood family settled in Port Angeles, doubling the town's population with the colony's 400 members.

The backyard cottage, built in 1929 by a boat-builder for Irene Wood, features ship-like details and a tale of unrequited love.

Today, this home stands as a beautiful testament to the pioneering spirit that shaped Port Angeles, blending historical significance with modern comfort.

"Streams are full of the finest trout, salmon in their season, deer are within easy reach of the hunter, and wild berries in greatest abundance and of the finest quality."
— Puget Sound Cooperative Colony recruitment material, 1887
