This place is great as a group of 20 something year old college students, I was pleasantly surprised when such an in-depth and educational but yet extremely fun tour was presented. The staff weird shoes that are native spirit and kept E entertainment going and they were very Interactive the gift shop was a definite plus as well handmade Oklahoman items.

This is my first year experiencing the Cherokee nation Powwow.. My grandmother told me if I ever had the chance I needed to take it..so yes I did.. and it was above and beyond my expectations.. we made it to the parade in the AM and then headed over for all the activities and crafts and art show during the day.in the evening began the grand entry and dancing ,singing and drumming.. This is definitely something we should all experience if u enjoy culture.. I will be coming back next year.. if u like my post please hit the " like" . Thank you

It's truly unfortunate that the Cherokee Heritage Center is temporarily closed at the moment, as I was looking forward to experiencing its rich history and cultural significance. From what I've learned about this non-profit historical society and museum campus, it's evident that their mission is nothing short of commendable. The dedication to preserving the historical and cultural artifacts, language, and traditional crafts of the Cherokee people is truly inspiring. The center's role as a host for the central genealogy database and genealogy research center for the Cherokee People showcases its commitment to fostering a deep understanding of heritage and ancestry. I applaud the Cherokee Heritage Center for their invaluable efforts in ensuring that the stories and traditions of the Cherokee community are not forgotten. It's clear that this institution is more than just a museum; it's a living tribute to a vibrant culture that continues to shape our collective history. I eagerly await the day when the Cherokee Heritage Center reopens its doors, so I can have the privilege of exploring its exhibits and learning more about the rich tapestry of the Cherokee heritage. Until then, my respect and admiration for this organization remain unwavering. *I took those photos back in 2016...

This place is amazing! They have a guided tour of a 1700s replica Cherokee Village and our guide was very knowledgeable. There was an expert arrowhead maker there and he demonstrated how to use different natural tools to make arrowheads. There is also a replica 1800s village behind the Center that you can go through on your own. They had a Native American Baseball Players display inside before you get to The Trail of Tears and both displays were wonderful! The grounds were beautiful and there are picnic tables and benches everywhere and if you are a smoker, there are plenty of smoker's poles. I love this place and can't wait to go back when I have more time!

I really enjoyed the exterior village tour!! It was fascinating getting to see everything and that it's real structures not cheesy replicas. I didn't get quite the same experience at rural village. A lot of the speakers were down so we couldn't learn about them and the store was bolted shut with no sign. As this is not guided. Without the speakers you were left feeling a little lacking. Also, a lot of the speakers were out in the Trail of Tears exhibit. The place is great I just suggest fixing those so your guests can get the full experience. Also, it's a little confusing where to go to buy tickets and such. There is someone at a desk when you walk in but everytime I started to walk over to ask where to go they kept walking off. As you need tickets for the guided portions I would make it more clear where to go.
