Abstract:

Merry Hill in northeastern North Carolina will soon be home to one of the state’s next great golf destinations. It is also the location of Scotch Hall Preserve, which was recently linked to the Lost Colony mystery. Research revealed that Sir Walter Raleigh had his eye on the Merry Hill area as the site of the first English settlement in the New World.
