Cherokee Female Seminary, Historic educational institution in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, United States
The Cherokee Female Seminary consists of a grand three-story building with two turreted towers, containing 127 rooms spread across 50,500 square feet.
The Cherokee Nation established the original seminary in 1851, which burned down in 1887, leading to the construction of a new building in 1889.
The seminary provided advanced education for Cherokee women, offering courses in English, Latin, Botany, and Algebra alongside traditional domestic skills.
The seminary building now serves as Seminary Hall at Northeastern State University, following complete restoration and renovation efforts completed in 2020.
Rachel Caroline Eaton, a graduate of the seminary, became the first Indigenous woman from Oklahoma to earn a doctoral degree.
