March 30 through April 22, 2022, OBX History Weekend will bring free, interactive events to the Fort Raleigh National Historic Site. The theme for the event is Searchers of New Horizons, so the weekend will celebrate the questors, inventors, dreamers, and pioneers of the Outer Banks
Featured presentations will cover topics such as Roanoke Colonist Thomas Harriot and his remarkable discoveries; English and Native views of the Carolina Algonquians; new discoveries about the fate of the fabled Lost Colony; a new view of Sir Walter Raleigh; and groundbreaking aviators including the Wright Brothers and Sister, General Billy Mitchell, Amelia Earhart, Chuck Yeager, Francis Rogallo, and more.
