The first reason I had for wanting to come out here was to see the Wright Brothers National Memorial where they did the first flights. It doesn't look now like the photos I've seen. To stabilize the sanddunes they introduced plants, so it now looks more parklike.
The other famous historical site is that of Fort Raleigh where the English tried to make their first colony in 1587. This now known as the Lost Colony since when they came back for them they had all disappeared (it was a long time since the English were otherwise engaged with the Spanish Amada). So there was lots of interesting things to see associated with that, Festival Park, a history park, and the Elizabethan Gardens.
