Elizabethan Gardens
Horticulturists, nature lovers and history buffs will find something unique to see each season at The Elizabethan Gardens. Winter, spring, summer and fall contribute to the ever-changing beauty and tranquility of this unique garden, an oasis of color in a land of sea and sun.
Island Farm
Explore Island Farm, a living history site interpreting daily life on Roanoke Island in the mid-1800s. Living on the bounty of the surrounding waters while working the land to feed their families, islanders were independent and enterprising. Some families fished and farmed only for their own use. Others operated on a larger scale. They farmed enough acreage to sell their crops, and fished commercially, taking their catch to Norfolk and Baltimore. They brought back furniture, books, silver, and other niceties. One such family prospered here, tracing its beginnings on Roanoke Island to 1757, when Adam Etheridge leased 1,500 acres on the North End to farm and to range his livestock. In 1783, Adam’s son Jesse bought 150 acres of this same land. It forms the core of today’s Island Farm, which the family owned for over 200 years, until the non-profit Outer Banks Conservationists acquired it in 1997. Adam Dough Etheridge, who built the house that is the heart of Island Farm today, was the fourth generation of Etheridges to live on this island.
