Our members, staff, volunteers and museum Board of Directors each play an important role in supporting the museum’s work to bring the story of the Ridge family and the Cherokee people to our community and beyond.
However, our work is not done. Chieftains Museum/Major Ridge Home needs your support as a member to keep the story of Major Ridge and the Cherokee people alive.
Preserving the Past, Protecting the Future
