We have served since 1986 as an educational resource in Tennessee, telling the story of the Cherokees and their impact on the evolution of our country. We have carefully preserved artifacts, to provide an authentic up-close look at life from another time as a product of Cherokee heritage.


We serve as a primary historical resource on the legacy of Sequoyah as a history of Cherokee homelands in his lifetime. We are rooted in Tennessee, and tied directly to Sequoyah – his achievements with the Cherokees and humankind as a whole.


Through our location, in Vonore, TN, we are tied to the local history of our area and provide not only high-quality museum displays, but also geographical artifacts from another time that are essential to telling the story of Sequoyah and the Cherokees.
