The Mystery of the Roanoke Colony

What if a whole colony seemed to disappear?

In 1587, more than 100 English settlers sailed to Roanoke Island to begin a new life. They built homes, planted gardens, and hoped their colony would grow.

But their supplies ran low, and their leader, John White, sailed back to England for help.

When he returned three years later, everyone was gone.

The only clue was one strange word carved into a post: CROATOAN.

Step into this fascinating true mystery and discover why the Lost Colony of Roanoke has puzzled people for more than 400 years.
