I had looked forward to visiting this place to learn about the indigenous people in the smoky mountains and drove 30 minutes from where I was staying near Gatlinburg. First, Cherokee could be any small American town, there was nothing distinctive about it. Second, the "museum" was one mid sized room with a few exhibits (and I mean a few) and some boards on the walls to read. The gift shop was far larger than the "museum" and contained some bits and bobs at eye watering prices. I was eyeing up a cowboy hat until I saw that it cost $1200. So yeah, if you're interested in native americans and their culture, maybe watch a few youtube videos and save yourself the drive.

They should just close their museum til the renovation is completed. What they have now is extremely limited. In fact, the section on how Cherokee’s are misrepresented is the largest exhibit in the museum

Passing through the Cherokee reservation and all of the shops on the way to the museum was amazing. The museum visit was a great topper. However I wish they shared much more history about their culture.

We definitely had a higher expectation than what was there. They were under construction / remodeling so the exhibits were very limited. They had a discounted admission which was nice but it seems like they are starting with the gift shop and working backwards. I think I would have liked to see a multimedia exhibit that showcases some of the Cherokee history, as well as how the tribe lives today. Some ceremonial background music would have been nice in the exhibit hall.

We had anticipated more content and history. Very lacking on tribal history pre European arrival and really 200 years after. We looked for the next room and found out it was the exit retail store. Not our first Native American museum we visited but absolutely the smallest.

None Museum is under construction so one room and took 10 minutes to view everything . Gift shop was bigger than what the museum was

SOster

Was expecting more for my $12 entry. It was one room with about a dozen items to read. They were in the middle of a remodel that they said would be open next year. Should have offered us a 1/2 price discount or "rain check" for when we could see everything.

I would have left ZERO stars, but this is not an option. BE AWARE OF THIS RIPP-OFF!!! The original exhibition is removed because “ a white guy started it” and it does not represent the Cherokee Nation any longer and the entire museum is under renovation. There is only one room left with a handful of artifacts, e.g. a helmet of a Japanese Warrior which was given as a present. $12 per person for max 10 minutes of reading. Please, stay away from there until this has been rectified. This is not the representation of the great Cherokee Nation! 😕🙁☹️

This was nothing more than embarrassment of the history and culture Cherokee people . Lack of history and junior high school quality exhibits. Unfortunately save your time, Harrah’s casino needs to step up and provide a true quality museum that they represent

The museum was very interesting and informative. There were a few groups/ families there, but it wasn't crowded. There was lots to learn and there were several photo opportunities both in and outside. It's a small local museum. There were some exhibits that weren't working, but it was a nice activity outside of the casino. If you are a history buff it's definitely worth it.
