Sequoyah Birthplace Museum Holds Free Admission Day June 4

  • Thursday, May 26, 2016

In celebration of Tennessee Statehood Day, Sequoyah Birthplace Museum invites the public to join them on Saturday, June 4 from 9 a.m.-5 p.m.  On June 1, 1796, Congress approved the admission of Tennessee as the sixteenth state of the Union.

"Our 1809 Blacksmith shop will be open with demonstrations going on throughout the afternoon.  Come out and share the afternoon with living history in our 1800’s Dog-trot Log cabin.  Learn about Cherokee’s in the Civil War and corn husk doll making demonstrations.  Silversmith Allen Fugate will be demonstrating as well," officials said.

The museum is named for Sequoyah, a Cherokee, who could not read or write in any language, who perfected a system for reading and writing the Cherokee language so that the nation and its heritage would live forever.  All Statehood Day activities are free and also enjoy free admission to the museum.  

Sequoyah Birthplace Museum is located at 576 Hwy. 360 in Vonore.  For more information, call 423-884-6246.
