Scenic History
This self-guided trail along a designated paved walkway provides visitors with informative history of the Cherokee nation's people and their journey and arrival in Oklahoma from Florida. The scenic trail is a well laid out through the park woods and along the waterway with interesting landmarks along the way. There are a series of ‘History Boards’ with detailed information and illustrations including, Cherokee Settlement, Franklin Castle, Seminary Hall, History of Tehlequah, Sequoyah and Capitol Square. An enjoyable outing, scenic walk and history lesson all in one.

Opened my eyes to the Indians' plight
The Cherokee Nation is centered in Tahlequah, OK. High school students attend Sequoia and live in dorms. They are Cherokee children who are finding their way. The Tahlequah History Trail is a museum and historical monument depicting the Trail of Tears as the proud Cherokee Nation walked from Florida to Oklahoma. Here is a good beginning to appreciate early American history, to awaken our country to the plight of our own native refugees.
