The Museum of the Cherokee People transferred Lieutenant Henry Timberlake's mannequin to Sequoyah Birthplace Museum. Since Timberlake visited here in the Cherokee Overhill and wrote his memoirs about the 18th century Cherokee. We also have an exhibit in the cabin behind the museum. Timberlake gives us a wonderful description of Cherokee life. He also takes two different groups to meet King George. His Memoirs begin like The Three Stooges go on a canoe trip. We sell his memoir in the museum gift shop. Did I mention we have a gift shop?
Thank you to the Museum of the Cherokee People!!!
