A lime kiln in Eastsound rather than Ocean, although it is from the same era.

Join the Orcas Island Historical Society for the latest in our series of historical presentations. This month’s topic is The Historical Lime Kiln Town of Ocean, featuring Ellen Winter.

Learn about the lost town of Ocean, a small lime mining town on the west side of Orcas, and the wider story of the lime industry on the San Juan Islands. Ellen Winter will present original research undertaken with local home-schooled children at the museum.
