Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
Island Farm is a 19th-century historic farm and a living museum where interpreters in period costumes tell the story of the family that lived on the farm and visitors experience life on Roanoke island as it was in the mid-1800s, before the Civil War. There are many hands-on activities and demonstrations for the visitors - woodworking, cooking, blacksmithing, children's games, an ox-drawn wagon rides and so much more. Activities vary from day to day and there are special events throughout the season. The farm used to belong to Adam Etheridge and his family. He leased 1,500 acres on the North End of the island to farm and to raise his livestock. The family owned the property for more than 200 years, until 1997 when the non-profit Outer Banks Conservationists acquired it.
