Moon Island

Settlers used the island as farmland. Colonial troops mustered on the island during the Seige of Boston to better surround the British troops. It became a sewerage plant until that moved to Spectacle Island and Deer Island in the great shift to clean Boston Harbor from it’s reputation in the 1980s as the “Harbor of Shame”. It is now under Boston Police and Fire control as a Training location and Firing Range. No visitors are allowed.
