Lost Colony of Roanoke Island was likely never lost [View all]

Aug 25, 2025
Many in our region have heard about the Lost Colony, either through books or the well known play. It speaks of the first English colony to settle on Roanoke Island. A small group sailed back to England, then returned to find the colony had vanished — only leaving behind the word "Croatoan" scrawled on a tree. What happened to them is a mystery, according to legend. If you ask Scott Dawson, he would tell you the legend is fake.
