Description

Located on 44 heavily wooded acres tucked away in the Oklahoma foothills of the Ozark Mountains, the Cherokee Heritage Center in Tahlequah provides information about Cherokee history and culture in a variety of ways. The center is home to the Ancient Village, Adams Corner Rural Village, the Trail of Tears exhibit, the Cherokee National Museum and the Cherokee Family Research Center.

The Ancient Village, located on the grounds of the Cherokee Heritage Center, is a replica Cherokee village as it would have existed before European contact. Demonstrations include ancient cultural practices such as flint knapping, basketry, blowguns, stickball and Cherokee marble games. Guided tours are held every hour on the half hour.

The Ancient Village has been part of the memories of visitors of all ages for over 40 years. We are currently undergoing renovations to better accurately portray Cherokee life in the 1700's which began the important era of trade for the Cherokees.rnOur Museum exhibits are changed four times per year so feel free to visit us again! Also, you can find us on Facebook!

This is one of my favorite places to visit. I'm especially fond of the ancient village tour.
