Sequoyah Caverns and Ellis Homestead, closed since 2013 , was a popular destination in DeKalb County, Alabama. The cave was named for Sequoyah in 1963. There is no evidence that he visited the caves but they were home to some of the Creek and Cherokee since archaeological evidence was found in the caves beginning in the 1840s. Some of these artifacts were on display in the main building. They held seasonal events such as Nativity performances  called Winter of Glory from December 21st-24th. Other events they held included Fall into the Past, a Civil War re-enactment that took place in November, a Spring Festival, and Summer Blast on the 4th of July, with fireworks and bluegrass music. Better descriptions of the events that they held: Fall into the Past Relive history at our spectacular Civil War re-enactments that take place for several days every November. Winter of Glory Join us for our live nativity scene event December 21st through the 24th every year....
