Our visit to Cherokee Heritage Center Museum Tahlequah Oklahoma
We visited the Cherokee Heritage Center Museum in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. I am 1/16 Cherokee Indian from my mothers side of the family. The museum and tour was very educational. We saw the worlds largest basket there and even purchased a few items from the gift shop. We used that trip to the museum as an educational field trip for our girls. Hope you enjoy this video!

Cultural stations are located throughout the grounds to introduce students to the art of Cherokee pottery making, basket weaving, finger weaving and more. Students are also encouraged to try their hand at cultural games such as blow gun shooting, stickball, marbles and chunkey.
The Cherokee Heritage Center is the premier cultural center for Cherokee tribal history, culture and the arts. It is located at 21192 S. Keeler Drive, Park Hill, Oklahoma.
History Of The Cherokee Female Seminary With Mack Vann and Lisa Christiansen
This is the Cherokee female seminary built in 1847, this beautiful building burned on Easter Sunday in 1887 just 40 short years later! On February 23, 1966 under the supervision of Col. Marty Hagerstrand, who had agreed to terminate his private business interests and work full-time on the project as General Manager, My Daddy Mack Vann was the lead foreman but just a foreman a hands on artisan of construction. With great pride in everything he did he stabilized these remaining pillars with his non-traditional construction crew, they were an all #Cherokee construction crew to maintain culture and tradition during this extensive undertaking. My Dad was also honored with the task of building the Tsa La Gi Indian Village, Oklahoma Heritage Center.
These pictures are of the Cherokee Female Seminary in its prime, immediately following the fire, during reconstruction (my Dad is the man second from the left holding the rake), and one of my Dad and me describing his time working on this monumental historical site and telling of how just three years years after completion I worked with there with my Dad at the age of three for .50 cents an hour making mud pies. YES, you saw that right (I made the BEST mud pies)!!! It was a way for my Daddy to keep me with him at work. I worked with my Daddy at the Indian Village until I was 13 years old and I absolutely LOVED every minute of it, I still cherish these memories!!!...
Literacy was high in the Cherokee Nation following the development of the syllabary by Sequoyah and the establishment of a printing press, producing a national newspaper in two languages in the 1820s. The Cherokee Nation embraced education as a means to produce a citizenship that could be viewed as the equals of any other nation’s citizens. In the 1890s, Cherokee literacy was higher than citizens of Arkansas or Texas.
The cornerstone for the Cherokee Female Seminary, built by the Cherokee Nation, was laid in 1847 by Chief John Ross. It is the earliest school of higher learning established for women west of the Mississippi. A counterpart Cherokee Male Seminary was built as well. The site of the original female seminary is on the present grounds of the Cherokee Heritage Center in Park Hill. Three of the columns still stand on the grounds, and recent studies have determined the exact position of the school’s foundations.
The school for women opened in 1851 with an annual tuition of $45. The Council set aside funds to allow 50 students to be admitted free each year. During the Civil War, the changing borders of North and South swept over Indian Territory, creating internal strife and danger for its citizens, so the school was closed during the war. It re-opened in 1879 and was operated tuition free at that time.
Studies included Latin, botany, chemistry, physics, and music. The beautiful building burned on Easter Sunday in 1887. The columns on the Center’s grounds are among five columns that survived (two surviving columns were removed due to their instability; one column was reconstructed on the grounds of Northeastern State University).
The three remaining columns have been stabilized so that they will continue as a reminder of the school’s former presence on the grounds of the Cherokee Heritage Center.

The seminary relocated to Tahlequah and the replacement building was built in 1888 in an architectural form of the late Nineteenth-Century time period (neo-Gothic). The school continued to function through Oklahoma statehood and was subsequently sold to the state of Oklahoma in 1909 when it joined the state college system. At that time, the Oklahoma Department of Education granted 62 hours of college credit to the seminary graduates, recognizing the fine education they had received while in the care of the Cherokee Nation. Today the building is called Seminary Hall and may be viewed when visiting the NSU campus.

Oklahoma Stories: Cherokee National Historical Society
The Cherokee Heritage Center, located in Park Hill, Oklahoma, is owned and operated by the Cherokee National Historical Society.
Once called Tsa La Gi, meaning Cherokee, the facilities stand on the grounds of the original Cherokee Female Seminary, which was destroyed by fire in 1887.
The Cherokee Female Seminary, a boarding school, was opened in 1851 and was the first institution of higher learning for women west of the Mississippi.
The Cherokee Heritage Center, built by Charles Chief Boyd, opened in 1967 to help the Cherokee National Historical Society preserve, promote and teach the tribe's history, culture and arts.
The 44- acre park is home to both the Cherokee National Archives and the Cherokee National Museum. And, from 1969 to 2005 it was the site of a nationally-recognized Trail of Tears Drama.
And in 2013, the golden anniversary of the Cherokee National Historical Society, Diligwa opened - a new village that recreates Cherokee life in the early 18th century.
The Cherokee Heritage Center also offers exhibits, cultural workshops, genealogy classes, living history and other events throughout the year.
Highlights include a Trail of Tears Competitive Art Show each spring; the annual Cherokee National Homecoming Fair over Labor Day weekend, and Ancient Cherokee Days in October.
Old Plantation Restaurant
The Old Plantation Restaurant is housed in an old cobblestone building in Medicine Park. But the surprise comes when you go inside and see the newly renovated interior. Local restauranteur and entrepreneur, Forest Ray, has done a splendid job mixing new and old, adding a whole new dimension to the term eclectic. But the most impressive thing here is the food. The cedar plank salmon and steaks are superb, just like everything else on the menu.
