Located in [Buxton, North Carolina](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buxton,_North_Carolina "Buxton, North Carolina"), the privately owned museum was opened in April 2010 by Scott Dawson, a historian and author of the 2009 book _Croatoan: Birthplace of America_. The museum displays 16th century artifacts discovered in 2010 archaeological digs conducted on [Hatteras Island](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatteras_Island "Hatteras Island"), where Dawson theorizes the colonists may have resettled. The museum also displays artifacts from the [American Civil War](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Civil_War "American Civil War") battles at nearby [Hatteras Village](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatteras_Village "Hatteras Village") and [Rodanthe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodanthe,_North_Carolina "Rodanthe, North Carolina") in 1861.[1] ## References [[edit](/w/index.php?title=Hatteras_Histories_and_Mysteries_Museum&action=edit§ion=1 "Edit section: References")] 1. ↑ Erin James (November 1, 2010).
