  • Early in the 17th century, John Stratton opened a trading post on Stratton Island. The remains of the trading post are still visible on the interior, near the largest tree on the island. Large portions of the islands are protected bird sanctuaries during portions of the year because of nesting terns. There are signs posted explaining when and where these restrictions apply.
