1. Chieftains Museum

   Chieftains Museum, also known as the Major Ridge Home, is a two-story white frame house built around a log house of 1792 in Cherokee country (today it is within present-day Rome, Georgia, United States of America). It was the home of the Cherokee leader Major Ridge. He was notable for his role in negotiating and signing the Treaty of New Echota of 1835, which ceded the remainder of Cherokee lands in the Southeast to the United States. He was part of a minority group known as the Treaty Party, who believed that relocation was inevitable and wanted to negotiate the best deal with the United States for their people. The chiefs had agreed they could not go to war against the United States on the removal issue, but most other Cherokee opposed Ridge and the Treaty Party. He and some other members of the Treaty Party were assassinated after most of the tribe was removed to what became the Cherokee Nation in Indian Territory, for having ceded the tribe's communal lands, as this was considered a capital crime.

1. Chieftains Museum

   Chieftains Museum, also known as the Major Ridge Home, is a two-story house built in 1792 in Cherokee country. It was the home of the Cherokee leader Major Ridge— notable for his role in negotiating and signing the Treaty of New Echota of 1835, which ceded the remainder of Cherokee lands in the Southeast to the United States. The chiefs had agreed they could not go to war against the United States on the removal issue, but many wanted to resist for a longer period. The original structure was a log dogtrot house. Later additions enclosed the dogtrot and added extensions at each side. The house was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1973. In 1971 the Major Ridge Home was adapted for use as a historic house museum, known as the "Chieftains Museum". In 2002 the museum was designated an official site on the "Cherokee Trail of Tears National Historic Trail." It was renamed as Chieftains Museum / Major Ridge Home. The museum's exhibits focus on Major Ridge and 19th-century Cherokee life and culture. It is located beside Riverside Park in Rome, Georgia.
