Fishers & Farmers

Island Farm, Fishers & Farmers
Event Description: 

In the 19th century, the occupation of “farmer” was often synonymous with, “fisherman” on Roanoke Island. Using the bounty of the earth and the sea, Islanders were able to thrive with little connection to surrounding areas. In this program, participants will learn about popular catches and ports in the 1800’s, knots used in netmaking.
