AMERICAN ORIGINAL

Millions have seen the compelling story that celebrates the 117 English men, women and children whose dream still lives on in this American original.

VISION

Their story would all be forgotten but for the local Dare County residents—visionaries who launched a movement to perpetuate the memory of the original settlers and the Algonquian Indians.

MISSION

The Lost Colony is an outdoor drama produced by the Roanoke Island Historical Association, a non-profit whose mission is to celebrate the history of the first English colonies on Roanoke Island, North Carolina, and to honor the founders of The Lost Colony  symphonic drama through drama, education and literature.
