New at the North Carolina Museum of History

Beginning on October 20th, the NC Museum of History in Raleigh will present the exhibition, Mysteries of the Lost Colony and A New World: England’s First View of America from the British Museum. Visitors will see items from the 16th-century as well as Algonquin Indian artifacts. They can also walk through an Indian village exhibit which uses set pieces from the famous “Lost Colony” drama.

A New World: England’s First View of America features more than 70 watercolor drawings by artist, John White, a traveler on several voyages to the New World in the 1580s and Virginia Dare’s grandfather. These drawings are the “only surviving visual English record of America at the time of European contact.”

The exhibition runs through January 13, 2008. For more information, visit the North Carolina Museum of History website or call (919) 807-7900.
