Diligwa is now open! Diligwa is a recreation of a 1710 Cherokee
village. This new attraction is at the Cherokee Heritage Center, 21192
S. Keeler Drive in Park Hill, just outside of Tahlequah. The
historically-accurate village provides visitors the chance to
experience Cherokee life in the early 18th century and features 19
wattle and daub structures, numerous interpretive stations, and a
detailed historic landscape set on four acres of land adjacent to the
Cherokee Heritage Center. Come join us!

The annual "Remember The Removal" bike ride is underway! Follow our

removal from our ancient homelands to what is now Oklahoma by visiting
