We have vacationed in the mtns. several times and this time we were looking for something off the beating path to do away from the crowds. This was another one of the things we found for a family of 3 the cost was right at $50 for the tickets they are good for all day you can come and go... More

The people were very friendly and the guided tour was filled with information to help with the village experience. Will visit again.

A great place to see how these people lived. Educational. They Cherokee people are really trying to improve the lives of their people, create a new generation of educated young people.

We visited the Oconaluftee Indian Village with my mother and my children. I had been there when I was in 4th grade, which was many, many moons ago! It was an interesting day.

This is another destination in Cherokee that you really shouldn't miss if you're visiting here. Again, the Cherokee people have done a great job of sharing their heritage with others through this little working village. You can view women weaving baskets and other items, see what types of structures the Indians lived in, and learn how they spent their days... More
