FYI, disabled parking is directly in the back of the building. There was nothing on their website about it and there were no signs in town. Disabled access to the building is also in the back. Ramp is a bit steep. I had to use the bars on either side to pull myself up. Also, as soon as you get to the top, look immediately to your right. There's a button to open the doors that is very easily missed. I overall enjoyed this museum. Small, but packed full of stuff to learn. I am Cherokee, but I do not live on or anywhere near the reservations. So I am trying to learn about my culture and heritage however I can. This museum was very informative and I learned quite a lot of things that I did not know about which changed my perspective on things. The museum is free, but please donate or buy something from the shop to support them. It is worth it.
Apr 30, 2026 · Google ReviewGreat free museum documenting the history of the Cherokee people, with a downstairs exhibit on their artwork. It's well laid out in timeline fashion, covering not just the Trail of Tears, but how the nation has prospered in recent times. Definitely worth a visit- just be aware of the hours of operation and what days they're open. The staff were very courteous and full of information if you have any questions.
