Island Farm Island Farm is a hands-on living history site and working farm near Manteo with unique daily programs

Island Farm is a living history site on Roanoke Island, just north of Manteo. Centered around a restored 1847 homeplace, Island Farm recreates what life was like on Roanoke Island before the Civil War. Daily programming brings opportunities for visitors to interact with the site's animals (Corolla wild horses, a cow, sheep, and chickens), its buildings (including the oldest restored home on Roanoke Island), historic crafts, games, and more. Through on-site interpreters, Island Farm provides a completely immersive, fun, and educational experience for the entire family. Visit the Farm, and engage with Outer Banks history, through special events, workshops, school group field trips, and unique daily educational programs.
