Cherokee National Museum

Hoooly smokes this was cool. I went with a group from work but this would be an awesome family trip as well. All of the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and their passion for the Cherokee culture was obvious (which makes sense and was insanely welcome).

Highly highly recommend when they open back up, fantastic experience all around.

Unfortunately, I lost all my pics. on a rafting trip that my phone didn't survive, but this museum was well worth the time! It had one of the most moving tributes to The Trail of Tears that I have ever seen.

Understanding the Trail of Tears and the Cherokee Nation in history books is disillusioning as to what really happened. Visiting the heritage center is the best way to fullly undeerstand the pight of the Cherokee Nation ad othere Indian tribes.

We have made numerous visits to the site and taken our friends along with us so they could understad the history. Each time we go we come away with moree knowledge of things we missed. During the visit I was able to solve a decades long question regarding my supposed Cherokee background, "not Cherokee". It was finally confirmed after my dad had his DNA tested and we are Enslish, Irish and German.

The museum layout and exhibits are well designed and very easy to follow. The staff on the grounds in the "Living Village" are very sharp to their culture and the narratives are well scripted.

Thi is a must see if you are anywher near Talequah.

A wonderful place to explore the history of the Cherokees

Moving and informational Trail of Tears exhibit. A wonderful learning experience for my 5 & 8 year-old boys as well as for the adults in the group.

Very helpful web site maps and information to plan a visit in the future. Hopefully will locate some of my Cherokee ancestors. At 70 now I am searching daily for my family. Thank you
