Cherokee Removal Memorial Park ~ Meigs County Tennessee - Trail of Tears on Waymarking.com

Cherokee Removal Park located on the banks of the Tennessee River in Birchwood, Tennessee was one of the main staging areas for the Trail Of Tears. Thousands of Cherokee Indians camped here before their infamous trip to the west. This area had nine encampments of thousands of Cherokees that waited weeks to be sent across the river here at Blythe Ferry. Some were very sick and many with a sad heart at leaving their beloved homeland.
