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 and live demonstrations including blacksmithing, traditional agriculture, food preservation, hearth cooking, weaving, woodworking, various livestock interactions, and so much more! This is hands-on history – don’t miss it!
