That is where we spent last Friday. What a great day! It was overcast yet warm. Our home-schooling buddies came with us. The grounds were beautiful. Our group practically had the place to ourselves. We got a lot of good attention from the employees and learned a lot.
First up, was a tour of a Cherokee village as it would have looked 300 years ago when the tribe still lived in the Southeast.
Our tour guide described how they made many of the tools used everyday.
After our tour of the early village, we made crafts. The boys made stick-ball sticks and the girls made baskets. Here are ours:
Following lunch, we took a self-guided tour of another village representing the Cherokee way-of-life in the early 1900's, right before Oklahoma statehood.
Some members of our party even managed to fit in a game of hide-and-seek on the grounds before going home from a day well spent.
