Rainsford Island, Boston Overview

The 21 acres of land of the Rainsford island was productively used for farming and grazing by the native Americans. The land was later used to build a quarantine hospital, veterans hospital and a boys reform school. The tiny but magnificent island has a rocky and sandy shoreline with underdeveloped trails for the visitors to look at the beautiful sunset and mystical ocean.
