Score 5.0 / 5

Cherokee Nation history is very interesting but also sad. Everyone should see and learn about what the U.S. did to these wonderful people. So glad there are some in the tribe that are teaching the youngsters their ancestors' ways. Don't miss Pan's for breakfast, although be ready to wait for a table, but worth it. Santa's Land is close by for kids of all ages; an old style amusement park complete with roller coaster. Plenty of shops in Cherokee to get your souvenirs. Ice cream, funnel cakes and fudge OH MY. Have Fun!
