DISCOVER THE MANTEO HOUSE
Step Back in Time at the Manteo House: A Piece of Roanoke Island History with a Comfortable and Relaxing Atmosphere
The House was initially constructed for John Wesley Evans and his wife, Rosa Brinkley Evans; the property remained in the family for 150 years and was host to many Roanoke Island legacies. The 1st island school house, numerous weddings, church engagements, the business community and political events, to name a few. In the early 1900s, Asa Vincent Evans and his parents relocated from the original Tranquil House to this property where he grew up and was later appointed Postmaster General by President Franklin D Roosevelt. With so many local legacies and stories, we are working on the “History of” portal to be available soon. There are many spaces to relax in private, like the parlour, den, or expansive porches. Grab a rocking chair and enjoy the grounds or walk the town.
The Manteo House is known for expressing a very comfortable and calm “feel” regardless of where you are on the property. This makes it a perfectly picturesque location for private events, a relaxing place to stay whiten, or even an ideal destination for corporate retreats and team-building excursions.
