Bringing your class to Fort Raleigh National Historic Site can be a rewarding experience. School groups may attend one of our ranger-led programs or you may prefer a self-guided tour of the park grounds and visitor center museum.

To begin planning your field trip to Fort Raleigh National Historic Site, please fill out the park's Field Trip Request Form below. When the form is complete, please click to submit which will send your form via email to park staff. Staff will then respond to your email confirming your request.

The free museum displays exhibits and artifacts related to the Carolina Algonquian, the first English settlements in North America, the Civil War, a Freedmen's Colony on Roanoke Island and Reginald Fessenden's radio experiments. Our visitor center also features the Elizabethan Room, a surviving example of a 16th century English interior. In addition, a Visitor Center Scavenger Hunt worksheet can be provided that will focus students' attention, challenging them to discover the key points of interest in our exhibit. A 17-minute film on the English settlements is shown in the theater every half-hour.

The park can send the Field Trip Guide directly to anyone who is interested in learning more. The guide contains places to explore in the park, considerations before you arrive, a timeline of park events and a recommended online resource section.
 
If you have any questions about how to book a field trip or the academic fee waiver, please email the park and staff members will respond as soon as possible.
