A history, educational, and cultural-arts complex, Roanoke Island Festival Park sits on the waterfront in Manteo. Costumed interpreters conduct tours of the 69-foot ship, Elizabeth II, a representation of a 16th-century vessel. The complex also has an interactive museum and shop, a recreated 16th-century settlement site, a fossil pit, plays, concerts, arts-and-crafts exhibitions, and special programs.
