Experience the Cherokee at the Qualla Boundary

The Qualla Boundary, which stretches across Swain and Haywood counties, is the ancestral home of the Cherokee containing its mother town, the Museum of the Cherokee Indian and several other attractions that showcase this ancient culture. The 57,000-acre Qualla Boundary is often referred to as the Cherokee Indian Reservation. Home to the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, it offers a wealth of experiences for visitors who want to learn about the Cherokee. Popular attractions include the Museum of the Cherokee Indian, Oconaluftee Indian Village (a re-creation of a 1750s Cherokee village), the outdoor drama Unto These Hills, and the Qualla Arts & Crafts Mutual. Visitors can learn about the Cherokee culture from its beginnings, through the Trail of Tears to present day. Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort also is a popular attraction and recently completed a $633 million expansion.
