While the residents have long vanished, their stories remain preserved in a number of buildings on the island.

Abstract:
The last residents of Lukens Island left in the mid-1940s. The village itself has disappeared over the years, leaving the town cemetery as the last remaining evidence of the island’s past. Every year, former residents and family members gather on the island to visit and remember their loved ones. Today, the cemetery remains active as the final resting place for locals and past residents.
