Description: Hart Island is a 131-acre island in the western end of the Long Island Sound. At various times in history, it has served as a Civil War internment camp, a psychiatric institution, and a missile launch site for the military. It is home to a potter's field that is very hard to visit. That will soon change. Reported by Antwan Lewis
