Built in 1884, the Saline Courthouse is the only one of nine original Cherokee district courthouses in Cherokee Nation still standing today. Located near Rose, Oklahoma, it sits on 14 rural acres, along with a springhouse and historic cemetery. Though it only served as a courthouse for 14 years, the site has a rich history and features rotating exhibits on the history and culture of the Cherokee Nation. Tour the site and surrounding grounds to experience the history of Cherokee justice and more.
Victoria Vazquez: From the Earth
Cherokee National Treasure Victoria Vazquez is celebrated for her dedication to traditional pottery and more than a decade of public service with the Council of the Cherokee Nation. In a new exhibit at the Saline Courthouse Museum, “Victoria Vazquez: From the Earth,” visitors will see the breadth of Victoria’s artistic work: from early days learning with her mother, Cherokee National Treasure Anna Mitchell, to more recent works that honor tradition.
“Victoria Vazquez: From the Earth” will be on display in the Saline Courthouse Museum from May 19 until September 12, 2026.
