The Chieftains Trail was designated by the 1988 Georgia General Assembly a state historic trail for the purpose of preservation, promotion and commemoration of Northwest Georgia's Native American heritage. The Chieftains Trail guides travelers to nine public sites representative of the Indian cultures which once thrived here in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. These sites showcase the pre-historic, Cherokee and Creek cultures. Four cities, Dalton, Ellijay, Marietta and Rome are designated Gateway Cities where travelers are welcomed from the north, east, south and west respectively.

New Echota State Historic Site, Calhoun. The Cherokee national legislature established New Echota as its capital in 1825. This government seat became headquarters for the independent Indian Nation which once covered northern Georgia, and parts of four southeastern states. Visitors can tour the museum, the reconstructed Supreme Courthouse, the print shop in which the Cherokee Phoenix newspaper was printed, Vann's Tavern and the original home of missionary Samuel A. Worcester. CLOSED MONDAYS
