During her visit, Mrs. Cooper, wife of Governor Roy Cooper, will tour the Roanoke Island Historical Association archives. She will view what the First Colony Foundation believes is the site of the Native village where Sir Walter Raleigh’s 1584 expedition made first contact with the Algonquin tribes.
The First Lady, who has a background in theater, will make her guest appearance during the August 1 performance of The Lost Colony. The cast and crew are looking forward to her joining them on stage.
