It was raining and we were looking for something in Cherokee to do. Glad we made the choice to stop at this museum. It took about 1 1/2 hours to make the tour. It was both interesting and informative and I learned some things. Really enjoyed it!

We were very glad we visited the Museum of the Cherokee Indian. Exhibits provided a great look at the history of the Cherokees, and it was moving to see it in the context of the beauty and natural wealth of the land they were forced to leave. We also especially enjoyed the last gallery exhibiting superb work by Cherokee artists, mounted in conjunction with the North Carolina Arts Council.

Very informative and presented truthfully, but in an unbiased manner. History of the Indians by eras. Pottery and basketry were beautiful. Much of the pottery is designated a national treasure.
