Hayesville is located in what was once a thriving Cherokee tribal valley. Today visitors can brush up their knowledge about the Cherokee Nation when they explore the 2-mile Quanassee Path, which links five Cherokee heritage sites. Possibly the most interesting of these sites is the Cherokee Homestead Exhibit where you can get a glimpse of what everyday life was like back during the 17th century.

The outdoor exhibit contains replicas of several buildings including a summer house, a winter house, mound gardens, a dugout canoe and a corn crib. Adjacent to the Homestead Exhibit you will find the Clay County Historical and Art Museum which further showcases Cherokee art and culture.

Address: Cherokee Homestead Exhibit, 21 Davis Loop, Hayesville, NC 28904, 828 415 1623
