Cherokee Heritage Center

 

The Cherokee Heritage Center is located near Tahlequah, Oklahoma. You can take a self-guided tour through a Cherokee Village (post removal), a guided tour of the Tsa-La-Gi Village (precontact), watch the Trail of Tears drama, and shop at the museum. Here are some photos from my visit::
