Background
The Cherokee National Prison Museum, formerly the Cherokee National Jail or Cherokee National Penitentiary (Cherokee: á£ê®ê¹ á¬ê®ê®¥ê® áꮣê®ê®ªê¹), was built in 1874 as part of a governmental complex for the Cherokee Nation in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. It served the Cherokee Nation until it was sold to Cherokee County, Oklahoma, which used it as a jail into the 1970s.
The prison, as built in 1874 for $6000, was a two-story building with a basement. The sandstone structure measures 48 feet (15 m) by 35 feet (11 m). The second floor has been removed and replaced with a flat roof.
