Murrell Home, Historic plantation house in Park Hill, Oklahoma, US.
Hunter's Home, formerly the George M. Murrell Home, is a two-story Greek Revival house built in 1845 at 19479 E Murrel Rd in Park Hill, near Tahlequah, Oklahoma, within the Cherokee Nation. It is a National Historic Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The state has owned it since 1948, and the Oklahoma Historical Society runs it as a historic house museum furnished for the 1830s–1860s, with the Daniel Cabin used for living history demonstrations.
George Michael Murrell had the house built in 1845 in Indian Territory after relocating there with his wife's Cherokee family following the Trail of Tears. The property survived several raids during the Civil War and stands as one of the few buildings from that period still intact in the area.
The Murrell Home shows how a family with both Cherokee and European-American roots shared daily life under one roof. The original furniture and everyday objects still in place give visitors a direct sense of how the household actually ran.
The main house and outbuildings are open for self-guided visits, and most of the rooms and outdoor areas are easy to move through. Giving yourself enough time to walk the garden and the fields around the building helps to get a full sense of the property.
Most buildings in the area were destroyed during the Civil War, which makes this one of the very few surviving structures from that era in Indian Territory. The collection of household objects from the 1830s through the 1860s was kept within the family across generations before eventually passing into public care.
