Andrew Johnson National Historic Site in Greeneville, Tennessee was established to honor Andrew Johnson, the 17th President of the United States. Johnson became president after the assassination of President Lincoln. Andrew Johnson and his wife lived in their home in Greenville from 1869 to 1875. Johnson had bought the home in 1851. The beautiful two-story brick house in Greek Revival style was occupied by soldiers during the war years and had to be renovated when the family returned after Johnson's leaving the presidency in 1869. The historic site includes two Johnson's homes, his tailor shop, and his grave site, located within the Andrew Johnson National Cemetery. The site covers sixteen acres, and consists of three separate units: the Andrew Johnson Visitor Complex, the Andrew Johnson Homestead, and the Andrew Johnson National Cemetery. The visitor center shows a short film about Johnson and his life in Greeneville. The one-room tailor shop looks today as it did in Andrew Johnson's day. Andrew Johnson's first Greeneville home is located just across the Street from the visitor complex.
