The First Colony Foundation is a North Carolina 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established in 2003, dedicated to conducting archaeological and historical research related to Sir Walter Raleigh's attempts to establish English colonies at Roanoke Island in the 1580s under Queen Elizabeth I's charter.
With a focus on public education and interpretation, the foundation aims to uncover the physical locations where the early colonists lived, worked, and worshipped, preserving this significant legacy of America's beginnings for future generations.
