The Walt Farr Native American Relic Museum: For the past fifteen years, Cheaha State Park has been honored to share Walt Farr’s remarkable collection, which has helped visitors learn about and appreciate the histories and cultures of the Indigenous peoples of this region. As the park prepares for upcoming improvements, the Farr family has chosen to bring the collection back into their care. We are deeply grateful for their trust and partnership, and we remain committed to honoring both Walt Farr’s legacy and the Native communities whose stories these artifacts reflect. The Farr family is actively collaborating with and advising the Park's education team to create a virtual exhibit that ensures Walt's vision continues. Together, we look forward to sharing his legacy with even more visitors.
