Please note: The island is almost completely private property. Please respect that on your visit. Do not cut across lawns or people's house lots or fields on your visit; stay on the roads, follow the shoreline and beaches, and usually there are old hunting paths just inside the edge of the woods when the shoreline turns into cliffs that meet the forest edge. These caches are present on the condition of respect from visiting cachers. Thankyou.

For 60 years the children on the island started their education here, in Ironbound's little red one room schoolhouse.

The school opened in 1925 and educated students who went on to become lawyers, teachers, chartered accountants, engineers, and many other professions. Grades from primary to as high as 10 were taught, with many grades present at the same time, but in 1985 the final child graduated and the school closed. Education like this is now basically a thing of the past.
