My intentions are to motivate people to explore Block Island's historic places in a healthy way. This interactive map is designed to enhance the experience of making your way around Block Island while informing you about historic events that have been forgotten along the way.
Based on your length of stay there are options that allow you to spend three very different days learning as you explore seperate sectors of the island. As you visit each drop pin around the island you will be able to open an info blurb about the historic place that you are visiting. For each day you follow your own mini guided tour around Block Island simply by starting with the pin nearest to your location and following the loop provided.
Day One ~ will focus on the most popular locations on Block Island. The North Lighthouse, The Southeast Lighthouse, The Mohegan Bluffs, Rodmans Hollow, The Old Harbor, The New Harbor.
Day Two ~ will focus on historic locations that are no longer in use for their original purpose. The Submarine Towers(three), The Oceanview Hotel, The Life Saving Station(Coast Guard), The Mill Stones, The Block Island Cemetary, The Indian Cemetary.
Day Three ~ will focus on a loop located on the North end of the island. Mansion Beach, Clayhead Trail, The Labrinth, The Beachhead, The Weather Bureau, The 1661 Hotel.
