Built between 1906-1909 by Seattle mayor and shipbuilder Robert Moran, the Moran Mansion is listed on the National Historic Register and will be open for public viewing on Saturdays in March, April, May, and October and daily from June through September. The Moran Museum offers a fascinating look back at the Moran history with original furnishings and unique northwest nautical artifacts on display throughout the mansion. A grand staircase leads directly into the magnificent Music Room, where Moran’s original 1913 Aeolian Pipe Organ and 1900 Steinway Grand Piano are still featured in live performances.

A variety of recreational activities are available on Orcas Island, most of which are located near the resort. Popular excursions include hiking the trails of neighboring Moran State Park, sea kayaking, sailing, whale watching, shopping in the quaint village of Eastsound, and exploring island artisan galleries.
