Address: 4668 Cattle Point Rd, Friday Harbor, WA 98250

In 1859 the shooting of a pig rooting in a garden nearly started a war between the United States and Britain over the San Juan Islands; for 12 years the two nations jointly occupied the island at American Camp and English Camp until arbitration settled the border peacefully.

Explore the officers' quarters and formal garden at English Camp and watch for foxes and orcas. For a challenge, hike to the Mount Finlayson and Young Hill viewpoints over the disputed straits.
