What Happened to the “Lost Colony” of Fort Raleigh? Find out on TIME TEAM AMERICA
It is one of the oldest mysteries in American history: What happened to the “Lost Colony” of Fort Raleigh? In 1587 the English sent a group of hardy, hopeful colonists to make a go of it in the New World. But when English ships returned with supplies just three years later, they found the settlement empty and the colonists gone. Only one clue was left behind: the word “Croatoan” carved in the gatepost of their fort. To this day, the fate of the colonists and the location of the original settlement remain a mystery. Time Team America travels to Roanoke Island to look for evidence of the colony, find out what it looked like, and learn what life might have been like for those first English colonists. Tune in Wednesday night July 8th at 8PM on WVPT and WVPT-HD.
