North Carolina - Cherokee, Mountainside Theatre on Indian Reservation

Mountainside Theatre in Autumn, Cherokee Indian Reservation, Cherokee, North Carolina

The Mountainside theatre has been created from a natural amphitheatre in the hills above the Indian village of Cherokee.  In this sylvan setting, in the shadow of the everlasting peaks of the Great Smoky Mountains, will be presented a moving and authentic saga of Cherokee Indians and their mountaineer neighbors.  It is the story of the handful of Cherokees who hid in the Great Smokies rather than move west on The Trail of Tears.  Through their descendents, Indian customs and mountain traditions fast becoming extinct, are being revived and preserved.
1951

Just saw the play "Unto these Hills" and boy was it good.  I have a visitor from Charleston with me and we both enjoyed the play very much.  It's the best I have ever seen.
