The Cherokee Heritage Center, in Tahlequah, OK, is blossoming with spectacular plans. Returning this spring by popular demand is the Cherokee history drama, to be presented in the exciting outdoor theater set in the beautiful eastern Oklahoma woods. A revised musical treatment highlights an already mesmerizing story of the Trail of Tears.
Cherokee Nation artists will meet the public and provide opportunities to acquire their authentic tribal art. Classes taught by the artists are available in northeastern Oklahoma.
Language is coming alive with special Cherokee classes, open to all who are interested.
Our March 1 monthly meeting speaker will give visitors the full story on these items and other marvelous features of the Center. Attend our CCS meeting to hear Mary Ellen Meredith, the Center's Acting Director. See you at Tracy Gee Community Center in Houston!
