We had been last year and enjoyed enough we wanted our granddaughter to see it. It was in March so everything was pretty empty, but we did get a guided tour. Our granddaughter enjoyed it. It is an excellent learning experience about the Native Americans.

5. John Ross Museum
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 14 reviews
The John Ross Museum highlights the life of John Ross, principal chief of the Cherokee Nation for more than 38 years, and houses exhibits and interactive displays on the Trail of Tears, Civil War, Cherokee Golden Age and Cherokee Nation's passion for the education of its people. The museum also has a gift shop and research area. The museum is located adjacent to Ross Cemetery in former Rural School #51 near Park Hill, Okla. The museum was originally built in 1913 to operate as a rural school in Cherokee County just after Oklahoma statehood. The school served Cherokee and non-Cherokee students and the facility remained open through the 1950s.

This is a very nice little museum that tells the history of John Ross. The family cemetery is a short distance behind, which I would also recommend seeing. This museum is self-guided (it's just two rooms) with displays and some interactive things for the younger set. There is a small gift shop, but the best thing about this museum is the person behind the counter taking admission and selling souvenirs. He is well-versed in everything Cherokee related, and was very desirous of answering any questions I might have. He kept asking me if I had any questions, until I came up with one to ask. We had a long conversation on whether Stand Watie was a good guy, or a bad guy, as a popular children's book portrays him one way, while the Cherokee Nation sees him differently. For anyone who wants to know anything about the politics of the Cherokees during the Civil War, you can find out here.
