Walk through history with a history and heritage educator as you learn about early history of Shelter Island and stories of the three cultures that came together at the time of the establishment of Sylvester Manor on Shelter Island in 1651: the Indigenous Native American Manhansett Tribe who made the island their home for a millennium, the European businessmen who bought Shelter Island to provision their Caribbean sugar operation, and the Enslaved Africans brought from the West Indies as the island’s labor force.
