Knox Area Weekend To Do List, August 4-6, 2023
Do: Sequoyah Remebrance Day
The Sequoyah Birthplace Museum in Vonore will observe Sequoyah Remembrance Day with free admission to the museum. There will be printing press and blacksmith demonstrations along with other things.
Sequoyah was one of the most influential figures in Cherokee history. He created the Cherokee Syllabary, a written form of the Cherokee language. The syllabary allowed literacy and printing to flourish in the Cherokee Nation in the early 19th century and remains in use today.
The Sequoyah Birthplace Museum serves as a primary historical resource on the legacy of Sequoyah as a history of Cherokee homelands in his lifetime. They are rooted in Tennessee, and tied directly to Sequoyah – his achievements with the Cherokees and humankind as a whole.
Through their location, in Vonore, TN, they are tied to the local history of our area and provide not only high-quality museum displays, but also geographical artifacts from another time that are essential to telling the story of Sequoyah and the Cherokees.
