Recommended Activities The visitor center offers a 17-minute film providing the background history of the Roanoke Voyages and Sir Walter Raleigh's efforts to establish a colony in the New World. Museum exhibits tell the story of the colonization effort and of other historic events for which the park has been set aside--the Outer Banks theater of America's Civil War, the Freedman's Colony, Fessenden's experiment with radio, and the story of the beginning of America's first outdoor symphonic drama.
THE LOST COLONY outdoor symphonic drama plays during summer season evenings beginning early in June and ending late in August at the park's Waterside Theatre.
The Elizabethan Gardens, located inside the park, provides a stroll and look and an accurately reproduced early English garden. |
