Visit the Farm
On any given day at Island Farm, our staff is telling the real story of the hardscrabble life of Roanoke Islanders who first settled here – after the Lost Colony, and before the Civil War and the Wright Brothers’ first flight.
You’ll find unique programs every day, live demonstrations including blacksmithing, traditional agriculture, food preparation, hearth cooking, weaving, and spinning wool, feeding the animals, and so much more! This is hands-on history – don’t miss it!
