Book this experience today.

The settlement on Roanoke Island was an attempt by Queen Elizabeth I to establish a permanent English settlement in North America. Granted to Sir Walter Raleigh and led by John White in 1587, the 118 men, women and children seemed to have vanished when supply ships returned in August of 1590.  Be with us as we tell the story of their colonizing effort and share the latest evidence that tries to resolve one of America’s greatest mysteries.
