Welcome to Legendary Cherokee. Discover authentic Cherokee history, culture and legend in the natural beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina.
We’ve lived in these mountains for 11,000 years, so we know where all the best things are. We’ll show you authentic Cherokee culture through reconstruction and re-enactment, interaction and artifacts. Here you can enjoy a completely different way of life amidst the breathtaking mountains of our homeland. Please come. Nature, art, ancestry and awe await you.
