Tres HermanosRed Clay Visitor's Center and Museum
This small visitor's center and museum at the Red Clay State Historical Park chonicles the history of the Cherokee Nation, centered around the time that it was headquartered here at Red Clay. It also tells the infamous story of the "Trail of Tears," when the Indians were removed from their homelands to the Oklahoma Territory. There is also a gift shop, and an auditorium where a short film about the Cherokees is shown upon request.
If the story doesn't make you angry and sad for the Indians, it's beyond my understanding.
Perhaps one reason I feel so strongly about the Cherokees and the Trail of Tears is that, according to my Mother, I have a bit of Indian blood in me.
