Our first non-marina stop landed us in Prevost Harbor on the northern side of Stuart Island. Unlike most of the other islands we visited, Stuart Island actually has a small population of residents. There's a 5-mile (round trip) hike out to Turn Point Lighthouse that takes you from wooded trails to gravel roads, where you pass a schoolhouse that dates to the 1800s. In fact, our real estate agent actually attended school on the island as a boy! Small world...

Lighthouse-keepers quarters. In the barn, we read about the fascinating history of the lighthouse keeper and his family.
