Fort Raleigh National Historic Site, Manteo

Indian village needs some TLC. Rather run down. English settlement same. Best thing to see is the ship Elizabeth 2. Crew actors played their parts well. Responded to questions. The museum exhibit was child friendly and extensive. We watched the movie, Two Paths. Well done but theater too cold.

Outdoor adventures! All Free.. The Park Ranger we worked with was very kind and helpful. She kept our 4 kiddos involved in the Junior Ranger books helping to make sure they were learning. Our kids loved earning their badges from Fort Raleigh.. We enjoyed exploring and learning about our countries history at Fort Raleigh. Our children enjoyed the museum and video explaining what happened here at Fort Raleigh. We traveled here in November and missed the opportunity to see the "Lost Colony" performance at the amphitheater. The views standing at the top of the seating area towards the stage were breathtaking. The water was right behind the stage. Amazing. There are many monuments and teaching tools along the paths to help you understand what took place here. The Elizabethan Gardens are nearby but close at 4 and has an entrance fee. Might be worth checking out since close.
