Island Farm, a living history site in Manteo, North Carolina, that tells the story of the everyday Outer Bankers that lived on Roanoke Island in the 1850s.

Island Farm offers its visitors a chance to pet their two Corolla wild horses up-close, and learn more about these incredible “banker ponies” and how they fit into early life on the Outer Banks.

Learn how early islanders turned sheep’s wool into clothing with this hands-on lesson! Participating farm-goers will card and spin wool into personal bracelet keepsakes, while learning about the farm’s sheep and fabric making tools.

Island Farm offers multiple special programs tailored to school groups.

Island Farm’s staff is proud to offer programming that is cohesive with the North Carolina Standard Course of Study.

Description

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.
