Chieftains Museum and Major Ridge Home

Ages 6–16
501 Riverside Pkwy NE, Rome, GA 30161, USA

About this place

A museum housed in the restored home of Major Ridge, a 19th-century Cherokee leader, located on six acres along a river in Rome, Georgia. The house itself is the centerpiece, with permanent and rotating exhibitions exploring Cherokee history and the events leading to the forced removal of Cherokee people from their southeastern homelands. The grounds include two gardens that demonstrate historical growing practices, outdoor interpretive signs, and connections to the city's riverside walking paths. The site is a National Historic Landmark recognized by the National Park Service as part of the Trail of Tears network.

If you are a member here

A membership to Chieftains Museum and Major Ridge Home carries reciprocal admission, so the same card is worth free or discounted entry at other places in this program.

Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
