I called my husband and said, my God there are these little islands here with just a single house on them! He said those are the Thimble islands. I grew up here, heard of them but had no idea where they were and was truly amazed that they had houses built on them, lol.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8690105822634811398.post-73120168929366622972012-09-22T17:17:20.972-07:002012-09-22T17:17:20.972-07:00Great article Alana!

I used to work at the Indian Point Club (which was located directly across from the town dock where a private residence stands today) back in the 80s and had the pleasure of looking out on the Thimbles every day! Love the area and my family is descended from the Palmer family, one of the original families that settled in Stony Creek. <br /><br />And I'm hoping that someday I'll make it up the street to say Hi to you!
