Cherokee Nation Remember the Removal Bike Ride

When: Thu., June 15, 3-5 p.m. 2023

The Cherokee Nation, Remember the Removal Bike Ride is stopping at the Steelville City Park on June 15th. The city park was the location of a camp site of about 10 groups of Cherokee that were being forcibly removed from their homes and moved to Oklahoma. The Remember the Removal Bike Ride was started by the Cherokee Nation in 1984 for Cherokee youth to retrace the Trail of Tears and get a glimpse of the hardships their ancestors faced when they made the same trek on foot years before.
