Lots of things to see and do here. Great educational opportunity for kids. Just be sure to call ahead to find out when the last house tour of the day is -- they are frequently changing their schedule due to Covid-19, and there is conflicting data on their own website.

Four different sites make up this Historic area. Each with its own charm. Make sure to visit the visitors center and watch the short film about our 17th president. Rangers here are exceptionally nice, I wish Id have gotten the one in the gift shops name as she spent time explaining the passport system for National parks to us among other informative things. Very sweet. The cemetery is a must. Sitting high on a hill, you feel chills at row upon row of tombstones surround the pinnacle where President Andrew Johnson and his family are laid to rest. This was a very enjoyable visit.

A good visit on a cool Autumn morning. An architectural creation worth seeing if one has appreciation and an opportunity to pay homage to a past President.

Nice museum and film. the lady behind the desk was a fast talker and wanted to move on to other things besides talk to me. this was on feb 4th and i was the only one there. so it wasnt like she had other visitor to take care of. anyways i dont take away star for so so employees. this is a good historical place to visit.

We enjoyed our stop here. It was a very informative experience. It was fascinating how they built the museum around the original tailor shop. Dont forget to ask for the Junior Ranger program....very fun and keeps the kids interest.

I loved discovering this place. I am a big history buff. My mom just moved here and I am excited that she lives here. I will be glad when we can actually go inside.

In general the historic part of Greeneville was wonderful. Andrew Johnson house where he grew up was next to the visitors center. It was closed due to Corid-19 but we still walked to his homestead a few blocks away. On the way back we passed another antebellum home. The historic downtown had several old buildings and a church built in 1780. A few blocks away was an old mansion that was very impressive. More to see here besides Andrew Johnson house and homestead.

Learned a lot of information. Johnson tried to reunite the Union. Sad because seemed most of the controversy was ripped from modern headlines.

This park is very well done! You will learn a lot here and the rangers are fantastic!!

Great history. Ashamed I didnt know it already.

I have been to visit Andrew Johnson National Historic Site twice before, have plans to visit again, and find it to be a very interesting and educational place to spend time as well. The property has Johnsons homes, a Visitor Center, a statue, and Tailor Shop as well as the nearby cemetery where the former President is buried with a large beautiful monument. It is easy walking around the site and exploring how Andrew Johnson made a huge difference during his Vice Presidency and then subsequently became President after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, one of my favorite Presidents. There is a movie about Johnson and a gift shop in the Visitor Center. The house is decorated by the National Park Service for various holidays and features special events for adults and children during said holiday occasions. The interactive activities and wonderful staff make the Historic Site a joy to visit on any given day. Highly recommended.

We visited on a Saturday when the indoor sites were closed. Was still able to view outdoor sites and had the added bonus of the call in narrator at each stop.

Small sight but a lot of good information. nice town to walk around.

My first visit was over 55 years ago on a school trip. Always enjoy going to one of the sites and hanging out for a while. I really like the views from monument Hill.

Great stop for history lovers. The Park Rangers are personable and informative. Small exhibits rooms providing insight into his life and Presidency.

Very courageous president who led the country after Lincolns assassination. Thank this president if you like publicly funded schools, live in Alaska, appreciate a senator from Tennessee who refused to abandon the union when his state seceded, who also fought to keep the south in the union and address their concerns via established and constitutional means, refused to allow the northern states to bully and repress the southern states after the war, and was the champion that ensured that the country would not turn to civil war again.

Great Tennessee history of the local president and statesman that rebuilt America after Lincoln. His original home is preserved there, and a shop and statue and more. My cousin is named for him.

Staff is informative knowledgeable and really friendly. Lots of history museum and historical homes. Plus tons of other things to do in a historic city.

Really neat history! Gives to living tiny lol

This National Park Site is very well laid out. The video in the visitor center is well made.

A great museum and buildings honoring our 17th president.

Very informative and child friendly. We especially enjoyed seeing the Steinway piano and the walk from the visitor center to his home.

If you love Tennessee Or even American History this is the place to stop in Greenville Tennessee

Great bit of history here. I had no idea that east Tennessee held so much history. I got lost in reading up on how things were during that time period. Also wonderful staff from the national park helped answer any questions I had. Thanks for a great time.

Great historical area not far off the interstate or far from the Smokies. Well worth the stop, and a great learning experience about a president that had the weight of taking over a mourning, broken country and a house dead set on his downfall for doing what was needed to set things right. I have a new found respect a the man who was a true patriot, a staunch supported of our constitution, even if it his adverasies wouldnt support doing the right thing because it wasnt their ideal. It almost cost him everything, and did make him look like the failure that he wasnt in the eyes of history.

The Andrew Johnson National Park is a very nice place. The National Park Service does an excellent job providing information, taking care of the homes, gravesite, and museum. I was pleasantly surprised to learn so much in my short visit. I highly recommend as a stop when young children are learning about Presidents.

Great National park to explore the life of our 17th president. Several sites around the town of Greeneville, very informative, many original pieces. Definitely worth it!

Very nice place to stay. People are friendly

I love history and to be able to walk through a historical home was exciting to me. I also found it interesting to see how the people used what they had to build homes (ie horsehair and mud for plaster).

Learned a lot of history here.

Its so wonderful to visit places where people that once lived here on this planet like we do now... Once lived, hundreds of years ago... Totally awesome to see history in person...

As with most of the National Parks, the Andrew Johnson NHS is well put together and very informative. Currently (10/2017), the homestead is under renovations and is not able to be toured. There are still several buildings, the visitors center, early home, and replica of the birth place to see. A short drive down the road will take you to the Andrew Johnson National Cemetery. Johnson is buried on the top of the hill with an astonishing 2000 veteran plots surrounding the hill.

Great place suprise what I seen

Excellent place to visit. Cool historical exhibits and friendly staff.

Take a step back in time as you explore the many Andrew Johnson locations through town. The tailor shop where many years ago before his presidency he would have mended your clothes and talked politics, explore his home he lived in, then the second he built on his return from the white house to live out his final days, both of which offer free tours. Then ofcourse the replica of his birth home that is located in Raleigh, NC is a must see. After exploring his life through the placks at the National Park Historical Site and checking out these wonderful locations youll want to conclude with admiring his grave where he will forever be known for defending the constitution.Great for family or just a day to yourself. Everything is free, including parking that is at every location, and each one has plenty of information. Enjoy!

We had a great visit and the two staff members were really helpful and answered all our questions. I recommend stopping by for a tour and some education about Andrew Johnson and the Reconstruction period.

Very interesting and informational. I learned lots of things. The house is not your typical museum house. You get to go inside to every room and learn about it. Our tour guide was amazing. Highly recommend this place

Great visit. A lot of wonderful history and artifacts at the visitor center. Helpful staff explain where to find the homesite, gravesite, and other wonderful historic sites. Definitely worth the visit!

Very interesting history.

Very nice place! Love both historic homes! The rangers are so informative about Andrew Johnsons past and are friendly!Great place if you love history and historical buildings.

A small but very insightful national historic place gives you a more insightful view of what Andrew Johnson did as president

History how could you not like it beautiful

So informative, clean and nicely furnished in period pieces, helpful staff. I learned so much about him and his family that doesnt get talked about in school. Be aware that there are multiple stairs if you have mobility issues. The ranger spoke loud enough for me to hear when the tourists went upstairs as I am in long leg/ankle brace. I appreciated that so much. The fact that they have on display actual garments that President Johnson made himself is so impressive as well as quilts/handiwork of his wife Eliza. I recommend any American History buff or National Park enthusiast to see this.

Husband is a presidential history enthusiast and he loved it. Ranger was knowledgeable.

Beautiful and serene place!

Very informative museum and last home tour. Would highly recommend. Learned a lot about Andrew Johnson that I didnt know.

Its hasnt changed thats the place were it was built!

This was a spur of the moment trip. Driving along the freeway we saw the signs and decided to stop here. The first few buildings were close together and easy to locate and very informative. At the visitors center we were given a map and downloaded the app to give us the information about the places along the tour, however, the map didnt show all the locations and the app didnt give a map...

A very interesting exhibit about one of our lesser known presidents, and one who deserves a better reputation.Andrew Johnson was actually quite a good president placed in a very difficult position after Lincolns assassination.The story of his impeachment and exoneration was fascinating!And dont miss the military cemetery where he and many of Americas finest are buried. What a lovely view of the mountains from the top!

I visited here while traveling. Such a beautiful home inside and out. The grounds in back are great also

Interesting place to visit. Although we were travelling through the area and couldnt stay but a few minutes, we got to walk through the home place and see his old tailor shop in the building across the street. Hopefully Ill have an opportunity to revisit one day.

Information on our 17th President was interesting, but only four of the nine attractions are on the visitor center map. Recommend the ranger or phone tour guide if self guided, lots of great info.

Great experience at the Andrew Johnson National Historic Site...Thanks Ranger Emma

Not open but still nice to see

Very interesting. Will be going back again

We learned so much here about our 17th president. Johnsons tailor shop has been preserved by the visitors center that was built around it. You can walk through the downstairs and basement of first home he purchased with his wife and enjoy a ranger led tour through their second and final home which is restored to its 1869 appearance when Johnson returned from the White House. Because the house was kept in the family for so long, the furnishings are those that were actually owned by the Johnsons, NOT reproduction or period pieces.

I got there with less than an hour before close, but was still able to see what I wanted to see. Park ranger Emma was nice enough to let me see the intro video, and I was floored by her knowledge of the presidency of Andrew Johnson. She knew her stuff!

Love history.

This location is memorable for many reasons! They held a Naturalization Ceremony here that was very touching!

Very interesting. Well worth a detour to check out

Great staff and nicely done museums. Very informative including the phone tour.

Very interesting!

Love the new roof!!!

Really unique. Time well spent.

Its been there I think for over 200 years!

Wonderful museum and staffVery educational and enjoyable friendly environment.

Very Cool to see the history

Great place to take your family. I had fun with mine (:

Very surprised that you can just walk through and look around, very well maintained.

There was alot of neat stuff to look at about Andrew Johnson and his family..I loved it

This is a quiet place of you want to get away from the rest Greeneville who refuse to learn anything about their own town

Very beautiful town lived here my whole life, storys i have heard about this place makes me stay, yet people running it are holding it back we could pull more to visit if they were something for kids to do around here every town around us has the right idea yet were stuck in the mud, beautiful here be easy to make it pull people here if you put the money in the town and not in someones pocket.

Great place to visit and learn about our Nations past time of President Andrew Johnson. And just down the road must visit Johnsons burial site (National Cemetery), hallowed historic site as well.

I learned a lot, helpful staff in the visitors center.

Visited on a Sunday in June. Very helpful rangers here. House and visitors center a few blocks apart so be prepared to walk.

Nice film. Got there to late for house tour. But they do have a narration available for the other buildings.

Neat museum covering Andrew Johnsons political career, presidency, and life in and around Greeneville.

Very cool and informative! The original tailor shop is preserved in the museum/visitors center. His homestead and a replica of his birthplace are near by, homestead being a short drive/walk. Definitely worth a visit!

Very informative tour, and it was free!! Worth the couple hours if you are into history.

This museum is wonderful! I learned so much that was never taught in school!

Its a good place to visit i learnt alot bout history and the place is very pleasent

Our son just participated with the AFJROTC in the Wreaths Across America Program. The wreath laying was beautifully done and the grounds are immaculate even with the bad weather weve had.

A great, educational, historic site celebrating an unusual American president. The site actually consists of about four distinct places which are generally Im walking distance from each other. If you tour his last home, try to get on the ranger guided tour, which adds a lot. There is plenty of parking but its distributed into several smaller lots, so get guidance from the office on where to park.

Great gem hidden off the beaten path. Rangers are super informative. The film is great. Loved getting to decided to impeach President Johnson or not. All building are very interesting, especially for the history buff who likes signs.

I never knew at one time in our political history we had a Republican (that was a liberal) President (Lincoln) and a Democrat (that was conservative) Vice President (Johnson) at the same time, what a concept what happened to be able to vote for a Vice President separately from the President. I also learned opposing politicians were just as bad as they are today with no compromise and the attitude of shoving down the American peoples throat because there opinions are the only ones that matter.

Great place to go check out the history

I learned a lot. Very cool that the sites run throughout the town.

Very nicely done historic site telling the history of President Andrew Johnson. They have preserved his original tailor shop within the museum structure which is great. There are a few other buildings associated with him there also. Johnson tends to get a bad wrap of sorts as there are a lot of political rumors out there that arent true or have been misinterpreted. He was also the victim of political attacks by many from his own party. Very interesting place, especially if you are interested in Civil War or late 19th century history.

A fantastic National Historic Site! Upon entering the Visitor Center, youll be met by a knowledgable ranger and a fantastic, decently-sized museum that revolves around Johnsons presidency and impeachment trial. Also in the Visitor Center is a massive cabin, used by Johnson and his family (see pics for various things youll find). The site is split among a few different plots of land, with the closest being across the street (Johnsons home). The homestead and a few other places are scattered in a near proximity of the Visitor Center. Overall, this site is absolutely fantastic and I honestly loved this place!

Very informative and historical. Really enjoyed it

Fascinating place. Enjoyed immensely. Very educational. Our small group of four were given a great tour of the house at the homestead. The 12 minute video at the visitor center is well done. The graveside is situated on a hill with a wonderful view.

We took our family from out of town on an Awesome Tour and the staff was very friendly!

Learned so much about our 17th President and have immense respect for him!

Beautiful piece of history. Parking downtown is scarce tho. So if you have disabilities it would be rough.

Enjoyed the site and tour. Back in a time where love of country was a guiding rule.A difficult period for our country and took a leader with strong character.Graves flanking the site remind us of those who came to the call of our country.

Awesome place; a cool piece of history!

Great National Park in rural TN town. Free for visitors and had an awesome Ranger working in the gift shop section. I feel like we learned a lot about Andrew Johnson and plan on returning when in the area.

I left with a much higher opinion of our 17th president.

Ok

Very interesting and historical as well! President Johnsons grave site is absolutely stunning! There are magnificent views in all directions, easy to get to and unforgettable!
