    The Cherokee County Historical Museum is located in Downtown Murphy in the Carnegie Library…read moreBuilding. Look for the bear. Parking is on the street. The museum is on two levels and starts up the stairs. There is an elevator available on the first level for those who need it. Admission to the museum is $3. The second floor has a variety of collections of household items and farm tools donated by the community members. There are some gems mixed into this collection. I wish the museum was more focused on the history of Cherokee County and selected the better items to be showcased. It seemed junky with random donated old items of family members. Storyboards upstairs would be helpful. Now, the first floor provides information and artifacts on the Cherokee History that they had before the Trail of Tears. The first floor also has a large variety of minerals. The Cherokee History displays are factual and well presented on the storyboards. The Cherokee Indians story is sad. It is worth visiting the museum for the first floor.

    This is a great little historical gem, with super knowledgeable folks that have a passion for the…read morearea. stayed about an hour and was taken back in time with the historical artifices from the native americans in the area and the civil war era items. I could have stayed all day and talked to the director and her volunteer. They have a huge collection of arrow heads and an actual native american cabin from West Virginia reassembled and on display.

    Everyone was so friendly! We went for family day after the fun snow the day before. It was a cold…read moreday, but still many people showed up. We got lucky abs the museum was open and free too. Normally there is an admission fee. Family day is the second Sunday of every month. My kids did a scavenger hunt, went through the exhibits, outside to the cabins, watched the live gun show, and enjoyed the family activities in the hall. The staff dressed up and were so fun and nice. My daughter enjoyed the lady who taught them a dance. We loved dressing up in clothes from the colonal times. Plenty of seating at their outdoor amphitheater. Exhibits have many interactive stations for kids. Our visit superceded my expectations. They have their own parking lot as well. Btw, I wasn't sure if they would be open because of the snow, so I sent a message on Instagram, not expecting a reply the day, but I got a reply in less than five minutes. I was over the moon. I was so hesitant to drive the hour while uncertain if they were going to be open or not, so that was a huge relief when I got a response! That's great representation!

This place was quite the glimpse into our state's past. There's enough here to make any history buff happy--a wonderful educational experience for all ages, with an interpretive center that is rich with information. The house is a very nicely restored Mansion once owned by a Cherokee Chief, James Vann. Construction on the house was completed in 1804. The "Friends of the Chief Vann House" take a great deal of pride in their restoration efforts, and there are plenty of volunteers around during the candle-light tour to clue you in on history and trivia about the occupants. They don't seem to pull any punches when talking about the Trail of Tears, and how the Cherokee were treated back then. Vann House was working plantation with slaves, so there is also a good deal of information about the treatment of the estate's slaves, getting down to some history on specific individuals. The amount of research that has been done on the Vann House is impressive. They also have "Vann House Days" during the summer. And the site is not far from New Echota Historic Site. Next time we'll visit both when we're in the area. Holler if you're coming with.

    Came to Brasstown Bald Observation Tower for the views and it was a sight to see! It's not everyday…read more(at least where I live) that you can stand in such a high place and be able to see mountains spanning across 4 different states. The entry fee was 8 per adult (kids are free) which also includes a van ride to the overlook. Or you can choose to hike which wasn't a long hike but steep from what I saw. A must do for anyone visiting the area! Ohh... and make sure you watch the little movie at the top, it's very cool to see how one place is its own little world in different seasons and the history behind the place.

    The current Brasstown Bald observation tower was built in 1965, replacing an earlier stone tower…read morethat was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in 1935. The original 1935 stone tower was torn down in 1947 and replaced with a steel tower before the current structure was built - we'll folks looks like it's time to build another tower this one is in a state of disrepair. I came here to observe 4 states from the highest point in Georgia, but apparently the observation tower is in such bad shape that it is now closed to the public and your adventure will end after climbing a few flights of stairs ending at the base of the observation deck yeah there's a view from the lower level but in my opinion not worth the price of admission. Thankfully there's a shuttle van that takes you from the parking lot level to the top it runs about ever 10 minutes, our driver was very friendly and tried his best to entertain us during the short drive to the top but there's not much to say - the museum at the top is okay and takes about 2 minutes to tour it then time you walk the lower deck and wait for the shuttle back down - I purchased a refrigerator magnet for the RV from the gift shop and headed for the truck. I guess I am fortunate that I came and saw this, although it was never on my bucket list, I'm still trying to figure out why there's an old train engine in the museum it's quite the anachronism...

It has virtual racing and cars, trophies and videos exhibits. It's wheelchair and family friendly at very reasonable prices. Gift shop and souvenirs prices are steep but closely comparable to other shops. The GRHOF hosts about 10 car shows a year including the Annual Mountain Moonshine Festival in October.

And his son Chase Elliott, who is also a racing champion, lives here. So yeah, out here in Dawsonville is the perfect place for this history museum. It starts with a video of racing highlights and some explanation of Dawsonville's importance and after that, you're treated to a collection of racing memorabilia including trophies, posters, race uniforms and helmets and yes, a number of cars from different race categories. Plenty to see. We lucked out today with a car show in the front and a barbecue out back. There is a gift shop with shirts and hats and such. There are some "Bill Elliott" fridge magnets, too.
