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.

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
