The Outer Bank’s Roanoke Island was the site of the first English settlement in the New World.

The Lost Colony is America’s longest running outdoor symphonic drama. We’re given a behind the scenes look at this epic drama that has drawn theatre goers every year since 1937.

We joined Cindy Heffley of the US Fish and Wildlife Service on a nature walk through the Refuge.
