Museum & Welcome Center

Explore our Tribe's rich history

Admission-free and open to the public, our museum is the place to experience our Tribe’s history firsthand, showcasing how our ancestors—the Muskogee Creek Indians—lived, with samples of stoneware, pottery, tools, baskets, and textiles that depict early village life. The Poarch Creek Indians Museum also displays traditional Creek art, including baskets, pottery, textiles, shellwork, copper tooling, and quilting, produced in the traditional way. Visitors can see artifacts unique to the Poarch Creek Indians, such as original copies of the Petition for Federal Recognition submitted to the United States Department of the Interior in 1980.

Tours guided by our knowledgeable staff are available.
For large group tours, please call the Museum for scheduling. Bus parking is available onsite.
