Description

Inventory of 174 remnant small-scale cultural features and 323 specimens and stands of remnant historic vegetation in the Fort Slocum Historic and Archeological District identified during surveys in April and May 2008. All functional areas of the post were covered during the surveys.  Inventoried cultural features included streetlamps, fire hydrants, benches, trashcan enclosures, laundry lines, walls, fences, and athletic and recreational objects; most of these features were demolished after the inventory. Remnant historic vegetation comprised herbaceous plants, such as day lily, daffodil and English ivy; shrubs, such as common yew, forsythia and privet; and 16 probable historic tree species dominated by Norway maple, horse chestnut, red oak, basswood and sycamore.  The report accompanying the inventory describes survey methods and traces the historic development of the landscape of Davids Island based on historic photographs and documents, archeological findings, and oral history interviews.
