The Trail of Tears National Historic Trail commemorates the survival of the Cherokee people, forcefully removed from their homelands in Georgia<\/a>, Alabama<\/a>, and Tennessee<\/a> to live in Indian Territory, now Oklahoma<\/a>. They traveled by foot, horse, wagon, or steamboat in 1838-1839. Notable points of interest include the Museum of the Cherokee Indian<\/a>, Moccasin Bend National Archaeological District<\/a>, and Russel Cave National Monument<\/a>. Discover additional points of interest along the trail here.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Trail is not a clearly marked, nor is it a traditional, continuous hiking trail. Instead, it is a corridor that passes through communities and wild areas in different states and various types of land ownership. The trail extends from North Carolina<\/a> through Tennessee<\/a>, Georgia<\/a>, Alabama<\/a>, Kentucky<\/a>, Illinois<\/a>, Arkansas<\/a>, Missouri<\/a>, and ends in Oklahoma<\/a>.<\/div>\n
