Trail of Tears

This trip was planned to help make real the things we are studying this year in our History of America.  We focused our attention on various "trails" that we could cross as we traveled west. One such trail is the Trail of Tears.  Living in NC, we didn't have to go far before reaching one of the starting places. 

Today, there are many reminders of this descision that our government made.  There are a few memorials and museum exhibits.

Chief Fly Smith and Chief Whitepath

These statues are at the Hopkinsville, KY Cherokee Trail of Tears Commemortative Park.  It is one of the few documented sites along the trail  It is the burial site of two Cherokee Chiefs who died during the removal.
