Worth the trip to Roanoke Island ifLost Colony play is out of season? (Raleigh: store)

[bnm6309]

Hi everyone!
I'm road tripping through the south in a few days and stopping at a ton of historic sites. Does Roanoke Island have a lot to offer aside from the Lost Colony play? I'm not interested in things like flea markets, boating, etc. I mainly want to keep the trip geared towards history, museums, etc. Thanks!

In the winter, I would skip Roanoke Island. It has an Elizabethan Garden and an Aquarium, but otherwise the winter is for fishing and baoting.

Instead, I would head to New Bern. It has the Tryon Palace, a recreation of the Colonial Capitol, and the smal Pepsi-Cola store museum.

Lots of history and attractions on Roanoke Island...Maritime Museum, Ft. Raleigh Historic Site, Elizabeth II (replica od the ship that brought the "Lost Colonists" to the area), NC Aquarium, Elizabethan Gardens, lots of local artists and galleries:
