The Croatoan tree, which is historically significant due to its association with the lost colony of Roanoke, is no longer standing. The tree, believed to have been carved with the word ‘Croatoan,’ was a clue left by the colonists who mysteriously disappeared in the late 16th century. Over time, the tree has decayed and is no longer present at the original site. However, the mystery of the lost colony and the story of the Croatoan tree continue to captivate historians and enthusiasts alike.
