Garden to Hearth
Looking for something to do with the family after Thanksgiving? Island Farm for will be wide open for our annual Garden to Hearth event. we’ll be demonstrating how Roanoke Island families prepared for winter months on the Outer Banks in the 1850s.
We’ll be cooking over the hearth, preserving vegetables in crocks, smoking meats in our smokehouse, making candles, and constructing simple wreaths. Come join us by the fire as we welcome winter to the Farm!
Admission to the site is $8, and children 5 and under are admitted for free. Island Farm will be open April through November, Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., where programming and activities will vary throughout the season. Island Farm is happy to accommodate large tours and school groups, with a reduced group admission rate. The farmstead is located at 1140 N US Highway 64, north of Manteo on Roanoke Island.
