But while I had family visiting from out of state, this was another spot they wanted to see. The staff was very helpful and sweet during our visit. They learned quite a bit. They did not know about Griffins Foods, that really struck a cord.While touring one of my aunt's looked in the case and saw the recipe for Martha's Pecan Pie, and said, there's my pie.(she said that because her name is Martha). I told her look at the other one in the case, because it sounded good as well.(I can't wait to try them as well). Neither of my aunt's knew about the girl scout cookies in Oklahoma either, so they were greatly surprised to be able to take a recipe home with them. I highly recommend that even if you do not have out of town visitors coming, to take the time to come down and visit 3 Rivers. It is part of the fun of exploring Muskogee.

This classmate said the US has never locked up its own citizens and would never do such things; to say different would make me a conspiracy theorist. Errrrrr. WRONG. There's a forgotton Holocaust - an American tale. We all know about the Jewish internment camps in Germany and Poland, and the Japanese internment camps here in the USA during WWII, but how many people know of the internment camps for the people of the Five Civilizied Tribes during the 1830-40's right here in America? Unless you grew up in the south, or are part Native American, chances are, you don't know about the Trail of Tears and the death camps. Back in early April, my grandparents, now ex-husband and I drove down to Tahlequah to visit Tsa-La-Gi. It was so nice to go through the living history tour which has a replica village and then another replica town (post ancient Cherokee village) with a schoolhouse, church, etc. Because it wasn't summer and still really cold out, there weren't people cooking and playing games. Our tour guide demonstrated games, archery and a bunch of other cool stuff during the tour. He was really personable and funny. Inside there is both ancient and modern (1500's-1800's) Cherokee clothing, pottery, weapons, etc. I liked the pottery stamps that you could color in the museum (sorta like when you put a leaf under paper and color over it to get the impression.) Past the previously mentioned things in the back of the museum, I learned things I never knew. I always wondered why my Cherokee ancestors didn't put themselves on the 1900's Dawes Rolls - you have to be on it to be apart of the modern day tribes. My grandpa told me that if you were put on the rolls, you were basically a ward of the government. You had no property anymore or rights. You were basically no better off than a slave. You can't buy your freedom when the government has you by the neck. I learned more here as to why my ancestors hid out in the Ozarks rather than lose all the had to the Government. On the wall are the accounts of eye-witness accounts of people watching a soldier bayonette a pregnant lady who fell on the trail, of the diseases and starvation that were rampant both on the trail and in the camps. It was absolutely stomach turning. I took a picture of every single wall board with information on it. Horrific. This is definitely a place, just like the Holocaust museum in D.C., that people NEED to see. We must never get too careless or too delusional to think that this stuff doesn't or can't happen again by our very capable government. We can forgive but we won't foolishly forget or ignore what our own government has done to its own people. If you want an eye-opening history lesson, COME HERE.

They have a museum, and the displays are good but they only concern the Trail of Tears. That's something that I do feel everyone should know about but it would have been nice to broaden the museum to other aspects of the Cherokee life. Outside there are two different areas. One is set up as a rustic town, much like the Cherokees would have been living in after the white people moved in. The other is set up to be an authentic Cherokee village pre-invasion period. The town is nice and quite interesting. We had a good time going through it. The village, however, was a huge disappointment. The tours were only being conducted on the hour and we had just missed the last one. Rather than wait for the next tour (a 50 minute wait in 90+ degrees), we decided to just walk around on our own. We were stopped and told that we could not do that. I paid my money to visit the museum and village but did not get to experience all of it. We were not told that we could ONLY visit the village as part of the tour. I don't see any reason why it's okay to wander on your own through the town but not through the village. Whoever is in charge of this place needs to pull their head out of their butt and get with it. I probably won't return to this place. It's a fairly long drive from Tulsa and I could spend my time doing better things. If they ever fix it up to where I can view it at my own pace, then maybe. As it stands, it's just not worth the effort.
