Enjoy the show – and be safe getting there!
Since 1937, The Lost Colony has been a don’t-miss experience for anyone visiting the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
When the first English settlers arrived on Roanoke Island in 1587, they encountered abundant local wildlife. As you drive to see the show this summer, be on the lookout for those same species along the way.
Avoid wildlife collisions by staying alert, slowing down, and watching for animals on the road.
