Being a tour leader and 'passer down' of history is a hard job, I won't lie. It's a lot of work and there are so many things you have to remember. But I think it's a very important job so that the younger generations can know their history and have the same knowledge as the ones that came before them. It can teach the kids pride of a place they weren't very proud of before, a place that may look run down and shabby to them. Roanoke is shabby, yes, but there's also a lot to learn about this place.
I guess the most interesting thing I learned while studying this topic was how many disastrous things have happened to Roanoke. A lot of things have burned and fallen to the ground. Somehow, though, it still stands today. That has to mean something in the way of perseverance.
