I believe the Choctaw were the next to agree upon removal. They ended up in the closest area of Oklahoma to their ancestral lands. Creeks (Muskogee) were from the Alabama area and they ended up with lands west of the Cherokee in Oklahoma. Chickasaw were from northern Mississippi and west Tennessee. They ended up west of the Choctaw. Seminoles were most resistive and they were last to get removed. They ended up basically west of the Creeks.
Talk to the curators at new museum.

I closed on the home and started working on a couple projects, like removing a couple trees and cleaning the gutter. People here are quite friendly, more than I'm use to. What's funny is the previous owner left 4 Washington State (and OK, TX) car tags hanging inside their carport, which is where I'm moving from.

There's an old concrete storm shelter near the home but it's not in usable condition, it has a big crack on top. I'm not sure what to do with it besides decorate the outside. I've never really even seen these. When I first came to OK and saw them I assumed they were a root cellar people still use here.

Right. Joke we always shared was take your pick: stay outside and deal with the tornado or get down in the cellar with Fiddlebacks and snakes!

Funny, because I haven't even went inside there and I don't plan to. There could be snakes or skeletons or garbage, who knows because it's very dark. I may eventually cave it in or fill it up.

Curious if you would be willing to tell us what county you are in or town you are close to.

Not trying to pry... just thinking there might be some interesting tidbits to share about the area.

Awesome. I lived in Poteau for a couple of years a long time ago and Wilburton for two years a long time before that. LOL. Still miss the mountains. Some years the fall leave changes are just stunning.
