The Lost Colony tells the story of the first English colonists who arrived on the shores of Roanoke Island in 1587. Through drama, dance and song, this uniquely American dramatic form weaves the historical events into a fictional spectacle that portrays the dreams, struggles and courage of those 117 ill-fated, men, women and children.

Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, located along the Potomac River about halfway between Washington, D.C. and George Washington's Mount Vernon Estate, is a delightful and convenient point of departure for a number of
river sightseeing cruises. Enjoy a river tour or dining cruise on the mighty Potomac by day or by night, complete with amazing views of the national monuments or picturesque harbor scenes.
Families with young children may opt for a fun pirate cruise, while dog lovers (and this is one of my favorites) may choose to enjoy a seasonal canine cruise. Celebration cruises provide an array of memorable settings for many holidays and other special events.
