Fort Raleigh National Historic Site played an important defensive role during its time. Now a historic site, you can just imagine some of the spectacles its fortified walls have witnessed.

Situated in Manteo, this history-filled fortress is worth a look. But you'll find lots more to discover in the area. Wright Brothers National Memorial, Nags Head Fishing Pier, and Jockey's Ridge State Park are within close reach of Fort Raleigh National Historic Site.
