Abstract:
Visitors to Roanoke Island can enjoy cultural and historical attractions. Algonquian Indians, English explorers, Lost Colony settlers, runaway slaves and Civil War soldiers have left their imprints in passing. The Elizabethan Gardens, 16th-century sailing ship Elizabeth II, North Carolina Aquarium, and the towns of Wanchese and Manteo offer a slow pace to the hustle and bustle of nearby Outer Banks communities.
