Garden to Hearth
Event Description:
Island Farm will host its annual “Garden to Hearth” event to celebrate the fall season and the Thanksgiving holiday. Visitors will learn the various ways that Roanoke Island families prepared for the winter months in the 1850s. Join our interpreters as they cook over the hearth, pickle root vegetables, smoke mullet in the smokehouse, make candles, and construct simple grapevine wreaths!
About the site: Island Farm, located on the north end of Roanoke Island, offers a trip back in time to the mid-19th century. The living history site offers daily programs including visits with the site’s Corolla wild horses, blacksmithing, farmhouse tours, toys and games, weaving, and other traditional crafts.
