Museum of the Cherokee

If you are traveling through the Smokey Mountains make sure you go to Cherokee, North Carolina Museum of the Cherokee.

This very unimposing museum is very interesting and educational.

There is the story of the Cherokee, their very advanced civilization and dioramas that show the typical life of the Cherokee before the white man maliciously decimated nearly every aspect of their peaceful culture.

A movie will take you along on the aptly named “Trail of Tears.”

You will leave this museum with a new view of the Cherokee people and a new respect for their past.  You can visit this museum on the web at
