Residents on Partridge Island

From 1791 until 1989 there have been hundreds of island residents besides the soldiers and immigrants who had occasion to stay there. The island was their home --where they raised and educated their children, held birthday and anniversary parties, mourned the loss of a child or parent, or entertained the hundreds of tourists who visited.
