Each year the Trail of Tears Commemoration & Motorcycle Ride ends at the town of Waterloo - The End of the Trail of Tears. The historical significance of the Trail of Tears is very important to both local residents and thousands across the country that participate in the event. There are many great resources for learning more about the Trail of Tears and we would like to provide a few for you - our visitor:

- An excerpt:
"...This document shows each encampment of this group of Indians as they moved to Waterloo, Alabama to embark on a steamboat to continue their journey to Oklahoma. On June 17, 1838, 1,017 captive Cherokee Indians, the last to be moved that summer, were marched overland, through North Alabama on a trail that follows closely to what is now U.S. 72 Highway, that runs parallel with the Tennessee River from Ross’ Landing to Waterloo, Alabama. ..."
