Sequoyah's Cabin State Park, preserves on its original site in present day Sallisaw, Okla., the same cabin constructed by Sequoyah in 1829.

Sequoyah, also known as George Guess or Gist, built this one-room cabin shortly after moving to Indian Territory in present day Oklahoma. The cabin became the property of the Oklahoma Historical Society in 1936 and it was enclosed in a stone cover building for it's preservation. In 1966, The Secretary of the Interior designated the site as a National Historic Landmark. It was declared a National Literary Landmark on October 6, 2006.

The cabin is a typical one-room frontier home of hewn logs with stone chimney and fireplace. It is enclosed in a stone shelter, which features relics and documents associated with Sequoyah's life. Near the shelter stands a relocated log structure, dating from 1855, that once adjoined the cabin. Sequoyah lived in the house until his death while traveling in Mexico in 1843. Sequoyah’s widow then lived on the site until her death in 1855, when she deeded the land over to the Blair family. The Blair family then turned it over to the state.
