Travel Guide to the Trail of Tears.

Hopkinsville, Kentucky

Day Two on the Trail of Tears.

Today's trip will take us to Hopkinsville, Kentucky where there is another Interpretive Center and some original trail which we can hike, then a ferry across the Ohio River where the Cherokee were caught in a winter blizzard for a couple of weeks with half on one side of the river huddling at Cave in Rock, Illinois. We then travel southwest to Cape Girardeau, Missouri.
