Great history about Sequoyah, a Cherokee indian who translated cherokee into written language. His cabin is preserved inside a building and is really neat. The real treat is the caretaker of the property. Very interesting afternoon.

The grounds are beautiful and the history is very interesting. The man working there took the time to explain the Cherokee alphabet and Seqouyah's role in Cherokee history. He even printed my name in Cherokee! The little museum contains a lot of great artifacts and notes about Cherokee life and culture. Definitely worth taking the detour if you're driving through the area!

The history of the Cherokee Indians is fascinating. Even if you are not a history "buff' just visiting here is so peaceful, it is really worth the stop.

This was the highlight of our stop in Sallisaw! We didn't know it was so far outside of town, but worth the drive! It was so interesting to find out just who he was and all he did for his tribe! Very interesting and helpful man at the visitors house!

As we were driving around helping my friend acclimate herself to her new area, we saw the sign and lucked into this beautifully maintained site. As a newly retired English teacher, I was in awe to learn of Sequoyah's alphabet, complete with a typewriter. We were greeted and informed by the knowledgable Jerry, who even took the time to give us a quick lesson in how to use the alphabet to write our names.

Great educational experience! My husband is Cherokee Indian and really enjoyed seeing & learning more! His great great grandparents came on the trail of tears to Sallisaw.

About 10 miles off the beaten path. By all means make the trip. The grounds are beautiful maintained. We were an hour and half early but the keeper let us in. The cabin is enclosed within another building. A must see on the history bucket list.

The grounds here are beautiful and it was a nice stop to get a history lesson. You can tell a lot of love has been put into creating and maintaining this place. Definitely worth a visit if you've got the time.It can be a bit tough to find especially if using gps. The address on tripadvisor is wrong. It is actually at 470288 Highway 101, Sallisaw, OK 74955-9744. Make sure you look at the house numbers to figure out how far you have to go.

When ever you leave a place with a feeling of having a higher sense of enrichment of life and knowledge it is well worth the trip. Sequoyah's Historic Site did just that in educating me on early America.

Sequoyah's Cabin Historic Site is a great treasure of information and history. While staying in the Sallisaw, OK area, my husband and I made the 10 mile drive northeast on 101 and I'm so glad we did! The landscape is tranquil and relaxing. Walking into the cabin and reading about the accomplishments of Sequoyah were fascinating. Good for kids of all ages. Great grounds for a picnic...they do have picnic tables. Donations are voluntary. If you are traveling in an RV or camping, there is a great KOA in Sallisaw.

Sequoyah's cabin is a wonderful tribute to Sequayah. Located in the mountains in eastern Oklahoma, the property has been well maintained and the guides, if you choose one are very informative. Take a tour or a picnic Sequoyah's Cabin is a nice place to visit on a weekend afternoon.

Demonstrates Cherokee Culture carried over "Trail of Tears" from the East to Indian Territory. To see what Sequoyah created in his Syllabery to carry Cherokee culture to the written word is powerful

I have been to Sequoyah's home many time and I always enjoy it and find something new. It is about six miles north of Sallisaw, take highway 59 to hwy 101, follow the signs. The cabin is enclosed in a rock building with several displays, The grounds are open for walking and picnicking, looking around, or whatever. There is a small gift shop but no food concessions, Its a good stop to break the routine or if you are road tripping on the blue highways.
