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
