WE LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR VISIT!
Did you miss our Speaker Series/ Virtual Field Trip:
Roanoke Island: What’s Lost, What’s Found
CLICK HERE TO WATCH!
Roanoke Island, on the North Carolina coast, has been the dramatic setting for more than four centuries of history, including the site of the well-known “Lost Colony” of 1587. As visitors sometimes confuse the Roanoke Valley of Virginia with Roanoke Island, the Salem Museum sponsored a virtual talk and field trip to Roanoke Island to learn the story of that very different Roanoke.
