Trail of Tears
T
he Trail of Tears was the relocation of Native Americans from the East, signed into law by President Andrew Jackson, in 1836. Native Americans were moved from their homelands throughout Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee, to be relocated in present-day Oklahoma. This grueling 800-mile journey brought 15,000 Cherokee Indians through Pulaski County in the fall of 1837 through winter 1839. They traveled 10-18 miles a day, including an encampment along the banks of the Roubidoux Creek and the Laughlin Park area in Waynesville. Laughlin Park was certified as a National Historic Trail Site and offers an interpretive memorial in this scenic area to reflect on the hardships the Native Americans suffered, as well as the loss of more than 4,000 of their family members on the trek.

Historic Highlight: Pulaski’s 33 mile - open-air museum Historic Route 66. Enhance the experience with our audio and turn by turn driving tour! The Civil War, WWII and Native American history helped shape Pulaski County USA!
Off the Beaten Path: Geocaching... stop by the Visitors Center for details. Bussman Lodge in the Mark Twain National Forest. Swedeborg/St. John Cemetery - listed in Swedish-American travel guides. Another hint is to save the attractions closest to your hotel for last. You may be tempted to do just the opposite, but these will be the easiest sights to visit if time starts to run short. There are lots of things to see and do in Crocker, Dixon, and Richland. Get off the road and hit the river. The view from the water is phenomenal!
