Sequoyah Park is located along a stream and is very busy on these hot evenings. There is a public swimming pool, the Tahlequah History Trail, and picnic tables.
Near the Park is the Cherokee National Capitol which was built in 1869. It now serves as the courthouse for the Cherokee Nation.
In another park is a wonderful statue of Billy from the book, Where the Red Fern Grows. Wilson Rawls was born in Scraper, Oklahoma, a town fairly close to Tahlequah.
Many of the signs in Tahlequah are in both English and Cherokee. This stop sign is a good example.
I was looking at a map of Tahlequah and discovered that way off in the outskirts of town was a newer neighborhood. One of the streets was Walkingstick Street, named for Simon Walkingstick, a descendent of James Walkingstick, brother of my great, great, great grandmother, Akey Walkingstick.
