Good starting point
The John Ross Museum highlights the life of John Ross, principal chief of the Cherokee Nation for more than 38 years, and houses exhibits and interactive displays on the Trail of Tears, Civil War, Cherokee Golden Age and Cherokee Nation's passion for the education of its people. The museum also has a gift shop and research area. The museum is located adjacent to Ross Cemetery in former Rural School #51 near Park Hill, Okla. The museum was originally built in 1913 to operate as a rural school in Cherokee County just after Oklahoma statehood. The school served Cherokee and non-Cherokee students and the facility remained open through the 1950s.

Beautiful home!
This home is beautiful and has a wealth of information about John Ross, the man who represented and defended the Cherokee in Washington D.C. I would highly recommend this attraction and don't forget to check out the cemetery.

Worth a quick stop
We have enjoyed learning about John Ross as we toured Cherokee Nation sites around Tahlequah and Park Hill. We continued that journey here. We also trekked up the hill to his gravesite. If you are in Park Hill, this is worth a quick stop after Hunter’s Home.
