It's a cool place to go to if you're into artifacts and history of Cherokee Indian history. As many times I had been in the area, and I had no idea this was there. Very small and cramped but worthwhile.

We like to go to the local museums. It's always good to know local history. Where and how people got by, made their food and generally coexisted. It's a good lesson for young ones.

Cute little museum. Lots of local history and information. Kids were amused that only unmarried woman could be teachers way back when. Learned a lot about the Trail of Tears.Great activity for kids and rainy days.
The museum was founded in 1977 and is in the Carnegie Library building that was built in 1922. We have a lot of locally donated items upstairs and our downstairs is the Trial of Tears Interpretation Center. We also have items in display cases located at the airport in Andrews and at the Cherokee County Courthouse next door to the museum. The courthouse was completed in 1927 and was built from locally quarried marble, which is called Regal blue marble from Regal Street.
The museum has a handicap entrance which is located to the left up the steps, you have to ring the doorbell and someone will let you in and you can ride the elevator to the top floor.
For further information please call the museum.
