The Chickasaw Council House Museum is situated in Capitol Square in Tishomingo, Oklahoma, the Chickasaw Nation's historic capital city. Free and open to the public, museum tours chronicle the vibrant history of the Chickasaw Nation and its people. The museum includes various exhibits, from the Chickasaws' removal from tribal lands to their settlement in Oklahoma. The genealogy research center and the tribe's 1853 log council house (where the tribe's 1856 constitution was signed) are also featured on the premises. The museum's gift shop includes Chickasaw pottery, jewelry, beadwork and various works created by Chickasaw artists.
