The Town of Shelter Island's Community Preservation Fund Advisory Board and the Shelter Island History Museum presented a joint exhibit celebrating the histories of the open space lands on Shelter Island featuring current day photos or paintings of the properties, historic photos, and maps along with background information and “stories” people shared.

Thanks to the Robert D. L. Gardiner Foundation and 360XR you can visit the exhibit virtually whenever you'd like with your smartphone, tablet, or computer!  Be sure to click on the pushpins to view close-ups and more content!
