Gib was my Great Uncle Charlie. His brother was Joe, my grandfather who became the caretaker for the property. My grandfather kept it all so well maintained. The University moved the things from the library to somewhere else. When I a child I walked all those areas and loved it. I did meet Stellanova a few times and she was a nice lady.

Thank you for sharing. I haven't seen it in many years. John Bozich on the comment is my husband my name is Kim. Gib/Charlie and Joes last name was Andrews. There are still people on the island who know the history. You should check out The Gander.

Thank you both of them were pretty special.

Eagle Scouts ROCK! 🦅

Awesome video, I'm a distant relative of Chase Osborn. I love learning about this history, thank you!

I worked for 41 years for UMBS and knew Joe and Josephine, Charlie, Ed and Sally and several other Andrews over the years They were all good people. I'm heading up next week to turn water off a the Gander. The UMBS still sends researcher to the Island several times over the summer. This summer was slowed by covid. Some of your information is flawed. The U of M didn't abandon this property, the buildings on Duck Island fell to arson and getting vandalized over the years. We transferred all his books and valuables out of the Library 20 plus years ago and most were donated to LSSU. The Gander and Summer house are still being kept up for researchers to use in the summer time. The caretakers house which was out on the main road was torn down several years ago due to structural damage. The UMBS still oversees/caretakes this very unique and interesting property.

Thanks for commenting! Especially. . . thanks for your perspective on the situation. For sure, many historic sites have succumbed to vandals and arson - it is a very sad reality. It looks like UMBS was no different.

Accidentally found St. Helena on a trip home from the Keweenaw. At first, I thought it was a "fake" until I saw the historical marker at the rest stop. I remembered your video & got so excited.

We had so much fun with you guys! Can’t wait for another adventure! Thanks for sharing our magical island.

Fireplace was nice piece of work

Great story! It was also great to see part of the Viewig family!

Omg another place I never knew about. Awsome. Now I'm a little upset not buying a cabin up along lake in Michigan. Hmmm, maybe I will buy a zodiac and toss it on back of trailer...not. I keep watching your videos instead. Thank you again for sharing a place in our great nation that is widely known about. Be safe out there

I didn't know about this place until just a month or two before we decided to go. Still discovering stuff! Thanks for hanging out and joining our adventures!

You should do a gear dump/load-out video. I love them and they get a lot of “ likes.” 👍

My in-laws the Hills had a place on the island 50s -- 70s . Never locked the cabin and left a bottle of whiskey for the Indian's .

I’ve been waiting for this one to air. Had no idea this was nearby to me.

Great video! Only thing i wish you included was a zoomed out view of the map, so I had a better idea where this was. Looking it up on google now! Keep up the great work!

Great video.

Thanks Eric!

Quite informative. Thank you for sharing.

My great aunt and uncle were caretakers and cooks when he was governor. I believe they lived in the small cabin for 2 years

@@RestlessViking maybe a quick cut, action-packed teaser of your channel that highlights the best parts of your expeditions

The end of the video somehow was cut off. The part with the whiskey review is missing.

I got curious as to who the Eagle Scout is. As it turns out, he is the Manager of Hockey Operations for Team USA.
