This is a very well done museum. A lot of reading involved, but the exhibits are very informative. I would make this your first stop in Cherokee.

This was a confusing experience. The "history" was interspersed with modern art pieces that have nothing to do with history. It looks like there was a film that introduces the site, but it wasn't running when we were there. It's a very small place. There is only a tiny bit of information here, but it's worthwhile.

The museum was a wealth of information with a good flow to through the museum. The displays were of great quality with a thorough representation of the history and culture of the Cherokee during a specific time of turmoil.
