Day Trips in Asheville
"Just south of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and an hour’s drive from Asheville, the town of Cherokee works to preserve and remember the traditions and customs of the Cherokee Native Americans who once lived there. From the Museum of the Cherokee Indian and the Oconaluftee Indian Center to the Cherokee “living museum” that is the Oconaluftee Indian Village, operated by the Cherokee Historical Association, there are plenty of ways to learn about Appalachian Native American heritage. The exhibits, which stretch back to the Paleo period (11,000 BC), are fascinating. You can also browse the museum’s calendar for any special events during your visit." - MATADOR_NETWORK
