This is a good museum as far as telling the story of the Cherokee people. I feel like it could have been more engaging though. The self-guided tour through the museum starts with a 5-minute video, but It would have been nice if we didn't have to just sit and wait 15 minutes to watch it. I can see children getting antsy and not being engaged in the exhibits. I did find the overall experience to be educational and thought-provoking. I was also very impressed with the artwork done on the murals, which were incorporated into the exhibits.

Touring the Cherokee Museum stirs up a range of emotions. How can anyone not be proud for the Cherokee and their accomplishments? Yet, how can any compassionate person not feel heartbreak and shame for the Trail of Tears? The Cherokee story is well told. Our time at the museum was well spent. We highly recommend making time to visit.

This museum is very informative, with a variety of interesting displays. It is a lot to absorb, but the presentation makes it easy to spend 2 hours there!
