Welcome to Cherokee County, a special place in the southwestern corner of North Carolina.
The Great Smoky Mountains are believed to be among the oldest on earth.
In the nearby towns you can go shopping for antiques, play golf, walk Main Street and shop at all of the boutiques. Where the community of Murphy now exists was where Fort Butler was built in the early 1830s
during the 'Great Removal', when a multitude of Cherokee Indians were forced to the leave the
area and commanded to march along what is known as the 'Trail of Tears' westward to Oklahoma.
Here, at Morgan Creek mountain retreat, you can hike the trails that the Indians used for trading
and hunting. You can explore the out-cropping of large boulders and waterfalls
where Indians hid during the removal.
You can also walk on the old 'wagon road' that was built by the white settlers that farmed these
mountains, hillsides and valleys. Explore beautiful forest where you can reconnect with nature
and observe our local wildlife.
We are bordered by the Nantahala National forest, which in Cherokee
means 'land of the noon-day sun' .
