Story of the Cherokees: 13,000 Years Voted Top Ten best Native American Experiences by USA TODAY, you'll experience 13,000 years of Cherokee history, from the time when mastodons roamed the southern Appalachians to present day.

Emissaries of Peace: 1762 Cherokee & British Delegations Travel with Henry Timberlake to the Cherokee world in 1762 and see London through the eyes of Cherokee leaders who met with King George III.

I have studied the Cherokee in AL, GA, TN and NC prior to the tragic removal. This museum does credit to all clans and to other tribes that were removed. Well worth the admission fee.

As one reviewer said, this should be a must-see on anyone's visit to this area. The museum tells the story of the real true Americans and how they dealt with opposers and a rough trek on the "trail of tears". If you go, first see the short video and do not miss the invidividual stories of some of the Cherokee at individual exhibits throughout the museum. These stories have a lot of bearing on what is happening right now. Admission is $11 per adult, unsure of children, student or veteran pricing. Do not miss this.

Informative, guides you through history from paleo period to present. The play and Museum compliment each other.
