We take everyone that visits us in Tahlequah to the cultural center. They have interactive displays that bring Cherokee history alive. Look for brochures around town that have two for one admission, it never hurts to save a little $$$.

The Trail of Tears exhibit was very moving, and very informative. I wish that all Americans would have a look at it. We attended in early September, during the Cherokee National Holiday, which was a plus and a minus. On the positive side, there was a huge crowd, with all sorts of entertainment and a lot to see.

This is well worth the trip with its mix of art and live village. The trail of tears exhibit is haunting.
