We have provided a map of wayside exhibits across North Carolina that mark key events and stories from the Trail of Tears.

NC Trail of Tears Map and Guide

North Carolina Trail of Tears Map and Guide is now available. Lynne Mager from the National Park Service’s long distance trails office designed the guide, which showcases some of the wayside exhibits detailed on this website. NC TOTA members provided images, text, and maps.

A grant from the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area Partnership supported printing.
