Giles County Trail of Tears Memorial, Tennessee, United States
4.5 (11 reviews) Spent Ranking #3 in Pulaski Points of Interest & Landmarks
A moving Tribute
A must-see if you're driving along the leisure Rte 64 along southern Tennessee. Pulaski offers a jewel of an interpretive museum located in an old Catholic Church, moved to its new site. It recounts the history of the notorious Removal of Indians Act, opposed only by politician David Crockett (yes, the same one of the song!) who lost his seat as a result of his unpopular vote. The signage has been researched by local college students and the tale of hardships suffered by the Cherokke and other tribes certainly moved us to tears ourselves. Access provided by the local Chamber of Commerce. Free, but donations accepted.

True History
Wife and I stopped in. We love to travel the backroads and see sites. This is a small museum but it has a story to tell that everyone should hear. The Trail of Tears is heartbreaking and its hard to fathom just how evil some people could be. We appreciate the hospitality by the lady there and interesting stories too. You have to get off the interstates to see the true history.
