Description
"Sachem's Hole," also known as Buc-usk-kil, resting place, is the site where the late Manhasset Sachem Poggatticut was laid upon the ground as he was being brought from Shelter Island to Montauk for interment in 1651. From that point on, the area was always kept clear of leaves and debris by local tribal members traveling that route until the site was eventually destroyed by Turnpike 114.A historical marker erected in 1935 by the State Education Department stands on that spot today.
