The Cherokee Removal Memorial at historic Blythe Ferry marks one of the Tennessee River crossings associated with the Trail of Tears. It is a sober stop rather than a conventional attraction, built around memory, landscape, and the forced removal of Cherokee people from their homelands.
The site is some distance from Cleveland, but it belongs in the region's historical geography. Pair it with Red Clay State Historic Park or other Trail of Tears sites if you want to understand the story beyond a single marker.
