Visitor Center
Some exhibits and the 17-minute film are currently unavailable due to visitor center renovations. A temporary visitor contact station is located nearby, offering an information desk, bookstore and informational exhibits. Click here to learn about visitor center renovations.
Earthen Fort
Earthenworks restored on the site are associated with England's colonization efforts that were sponsored by Sir Walter Raleigh from 1584 to 1590. An adjacent spot has confirmed evidence of metallurgical activity from the 1585 exploration expedition.
Nature Trail
The Thomas Hariot Nature Trail offers a 20-minute pocket wilderness experience of the island's natural setting. Wayside signs on the trail relate what English explorers observed of the natural resources and the commodities that could be made from them.
Hiking Trail
The Freedom Trail leads 1¼ miles from the nearby Elizabethan Gardens through the park land to the island's western edge, offering a viewshed that the native Algonquians enjoyed from their island home.
