The Palmers bought the Island in 1949[1] as a vacation getaway in the summer. Then in 1972 they moved to the island and became full time residents. They lived there for twenty years. Mary Palmer didn't want the island to be developed after she was gone, so they fought long and hard to try to preserve it. In 1994 the Dan Culver Follow Your Dream Foundation started a province wide fund raising campaign.[2][3] People all over donated and gave support. Then with a large donation from the Provincial Government, Jedediah Island was turned into a provincial park and can be enjoyed by visitors for years to come.
In the summer of 2007, a family visiting Jedediah Island found the remains of a human foot on the beach they were at. It was the first in a series of feet to be discovered over the next two years.
