2019 Fall Programs Schedule
Nine Pin Game in the Settlement Site
11 am & 3 pm every Thursday, Friday and Saturday
Occasionally settlers would have time to unwind with a game of Nine Pin. This forerunner of modern bowling was popular in England, and our settlers have brought the tradition with them to the new world. Wander down to the settlement to participate in a Nine Pin tournament.
Gun Drill on the Elizabeth II
12 pm every Thursday, Friday and Saturday
Guns were an important part of the Roanoke Voyages to protect the ship's passengers and cargo. Come smell the gun powder and shout "Huzah for England!" when we fire the sling gun on the Elizabeth II.
Mysterious Tales from North Carolina Myths and Legends on the Elizabeth II
2:30 pm every Sunday
Join one of our settlers, James Lacey, below deck on the Elizabeth II to hear mysterious tales from North Carolina Myths and Legends! Stories will include The Ghost Ship of Diamond Shoals, Blackbeard’s Cup, The Ballad of Nell Cropsey, and The Flaming Ship of Ocracoke. New stories every week, so come hear them all... if you dare.
