    My wife and I visited Cherokee numerous times in the 90's. We had a friend that lived in Knoxville and we use to drive over the Smokies to Cherokee every time we visited them. On one of our trips we found that there was a reconstructed reservation and took the guided tour through it. It was very interesting and we learned a lot from the guides.

      Miigwech and Wado and Mahalo for this statement of yours. Cherokee NC is a very special place to all the Native Americans (American Indians) who reside in the Deep South still. I just love going to Cherokee NC and feeling 200 years of living history inside of me. The reason that Cherokee NC is a special place to the Native Americans in the Deep South is because there are not many reservations in the Deep South. I believe there may be 5 or 6 Federally Recognized Nations in the Deep South. Take care and thank you for recognizing the beauty of Cherokee NC and all it has to offer there. :)

I went to Cherokee when I was 14, and the beauty is still burned into my memory. Seeing the gently rolling hills with all the green trees brought tears to my eyes. I will always be a Tarheel!!

    I used to tent camp in Cherokee many years in a row back in the 1970s. It was a big tourist town on the way over the mountain to Gatlinburg. When the new roads opened up, they bypassed Cherokee and the town went down hill for a time. Their answer to bring the tourists back was the casinos such as Harrahs. It was so much fun in the day. The Indian chief had a high presence in the town and would pose for pictures. I camped in the same area every year, which was on an island and all belongings had to be taken across the river by wheelbarrow to the campsites. Then I went back in the late 80s and the campground had been renovated into condos. I was heartbroken and cried. I guess time marches on and progress is ongoing. In all those years, I missed visiting the museum. Thanks for the walkthrough.

    Hubby's family folklore says they have some Cherokee blood (courtesy of 5 civilized tribes removal to OK on his Dad's side). Thank you for such a wonderful tour of their museum.

    I'm glad you had a good time there. That's where I go to relax. Hike the mountains and trout fishing feel calming to my soul. I would visit family there as a child and it always stayed with me. I love it, there.

    My parents use to take us on vacation there when I was young. One time in 1983, we wanted a pic with an authentic Indian. We walked and walked until we found what we knew to be an authentic Cherokee to have our pic made with. The clothes, the stance, the accent, everything was what we were looking for. When we ask his name we were blown away..Bill Brady!! We still had our pic made with him. As long as I live, I will never forget that experience or his name
