Friday, December 6, staff at Andrew Johnson National Historic Site will open the historic Andrew Johnson Homestead, located at 209 South Main Street, from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm for the annual free Holiday Open House.
Jump-start your holiday season with a visit to your national park. The Andrew Johnson Homestead will be decorated in authentic Victorian Holiday décor. This year, staff will be offering two short interpretive talks for attendees near a toasty campfire. Beginning at 6:30 pm, staff will present a program entitled “Andrew Johnson, Military Governor,” followed at 7:00 pm by “Betsy Ann Ward and Prohibition in Greeneville.”
Light refreshments – cookies and hot apple cider – will be provided by the Friends of Andrew Johnson National Historic Site while supplies last. Kids are invited to make their own Victorian holiday cards, snowflakes, and paperchains at the kid’s crafts table.
Come visit the home of our 17th President on a beautiful Friday evening in December. This year’s event, made possible with support from the Friends of the Andrew Johnson National Historic Site, will take you back in time for cheerful Victorian-era Holiday. You don’t want to miss this free holiday program.
