Junior Ranger patch

If you visit the park in person during the summer months, we have a Roanoke Ranger program that comes with a great patch (shown at left) for your jacket or book bag. When you arrive at the Visitor Center, ask for the Roanoke Ranger workbook.

Remember, the National Parks belong to all of us. Now that you're a Junior Ranger, you have a special responsibility to try visit each and every one in person (after all, cyberspace is nice but nothing beats the real thing.) There are almost 400 of them, so you better get started!

Freedman Colony reenactor and descendent, John Wise  

Did You Know?
Roanoke Island became a safe haven of Freedom for escaped slaves when the Union seized the island during the Civil War. As a result, the first and largest Freedmen's Colony in North Carolina was established to prepare these African Americans for a new life after the war.
