National Historic Landmark-Murrell Home

A 2-story frame dwelling, built in 1845 near the Cherokee capital by Virginian George Murrell, who married the niece of Cherokee leader John Ross.

It reflects the Anglicized ways adopted by some Cherokees in their community of Park Hill, and is the only ante-bellum house to survive in the Cherokee Nation.
