Gardiners Island, Private island in East Hampton, United States.
Gardiners Island extends across 3,318 acres between the North and South Forks of Long Island, containing forests, meadows, and saltwater ponds.
Lion Gardiner acquired the island through a royal grant from King Charles I in 1639, making it the only United States property maintained from an original English crown grant.
The Manor House, reconstructed after a 1947 fire, stands as a Georgian estate where the Gardiner family maintains centuries-old traditions and artifacts.
The entire island remains closed to public access, with entrance permitted only to family members and authorized personnel through a private airstrip.
Captain William Kidd buried treasure on the island in 1699, including gold and silver, which authorities later recovered for his trial in Boston.
