This is a variation on the tradition Cherokee Butterbean Game. It can be played by several individual players or several teams. Traditionally, this game uses three butterbeans that have been split in half. More…
From the Museum of the Cherokee Indian: Cherokee people began growing a form of corn two thousand years ago. By about a thousand years ago, or 1000 AD, they were growing corn and beans, as we know them today. Corn, beans, and squash was always grown together and was known as the “Three Sisters.” Beans restore nitrogen to the soil while corn depletes nitrogen. The vines of the beans and squash twined up the cornstalks. When corn and beans are eaten together, they provide complete proteins and amino acids for our diet.
Corn was so important to the Cherokee that they had important celebrations and ceremonies called “Green Corn Festivals.” The first of these was held in August, before the sweet corn was ready to eat. The last was held in October or November, when the
field corn was ready to be picked. At these ceremonies, people purified themselves physically and spiritually before feasting together. At this time, people got married and divorced. All old scores were settled and everyone started a new year together.
Come play with us at the Museum’s next game night! Stop by the welcome desk or café counter to pick up some socially distanced fun activities for individuals, pairs, or small groups. No reservations needed.
THIRD THURSDAYS
Each third Thursday, the Museum and community partners offer fun events for adults to socialize through interactive art-related activities, delicious drinks, and tasty treats.

Join us for the virtual event of the year:
United Way’s Carpool Karaoke Challenge
The Fall Community Engagement Event is the one night a year when the community comes together in a fun, friendly competition to help raise awareness of our collective work to reduce the root causes and consequences of poverty. The event also serves as a call-to-action for both businesses and individuals to pledge their time and financial resources in support of the LIVE UNITED Fund.
Because of health concerns, this year’s event (The Carpool Karaoke Challenge) is being held virtually. Ten teams have pre-submitted their Carpool Karaoke videos, and each submission will be shown during the event. The kicker? This year you, the audience, will vote to decide 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners.
