| Trail Of Tears National Historic Trail :- In 1838, the United States government forcibly removed more than 16,000 Cherokee Indian people from their homelands in Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina, and Georgia, and sent them to Indian Territory (today known as Oklahoma). The impact to the Cherokee was devastating. Hundreds of Cherokee died during their trip west, and thousands more perished from the consequences of relocation. This tragic chapter in American and Cherokee history became known as the Trail of Tears, and culminated the implementation of the Indian Removal Act of 1830, which mandated the removal of all American Indian tribes east of the Mississippi River to lands in the West. The Trail of Tears National Historic Trail commemorates the removal of the Cherokee and the paths that 17 Cherokee detachments followed westward. Today the trail encompasses about 2,200 miles of land and water routes, and traverses portions of nine states. ACCESSIBILITY National Park Service areas along the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail, including Arkansas Post National Memorial, Fort Smith National Historic Site, and Pea Ridge National Military Park, generally meet accessibility standards for people with disabilities. However, because of the varied nature and rural character of the many certified sites making up the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail, it is best that you inquire locally about accessibility when contacting specific sites for visitation information.
