This site also preserves the cultural heritage of the local Algonquian tribes, European Americans, and African Americans who have lived on Roanoke Island. Fort Raleigh National Historic Site also tells the story of the Civil War on Roanoke Island, as well as the resulting Freedman's Colony, and the amazing story of Reginald Fessenden's groundbreaking work in long-range radio transmissions.
