The Cherokee homelands include Georgia. Most of the sites relate to the round up routes along which the Cherokee were forcibly removed to camps. Most Cherokee are moved into 11 removal camps-10 in Tennessee and one in Alabama. The round ups were the start of an 800-mile journey. Other sites in Georgia showcase elements of Cherokee life or environment in the homelands.
Please note: Not all sites have phone numbers or websites. Some sites are private.
