Welcome to Andrew Johnson National Historic Site’s virtual field trip! When students visit the Andrew Johnson National Historic Site, they encounter hundreds of 19th-Century artifacts that once belonged to Andrew Johnson and his family. This program was designed for teachers and students who are unable to visit the site in person. We want to provide this virtual opportunity to see and learn about the home of the 17th President in Greeneville, Tennessee as you would on a field trip to the site.

Experience a Victorian holiday in the president's Homestead

Site Hours will vary with upcoming holidays and winter hours schedule changes.

Experience the Andrew Johnson Homestead in a way few have tonight, October 25, from 5-7:00 p.m. The Andrew Johnson NHS is opening the house at dusk for “candlelit tours” highlighting Victorian practices of grief and mourning. See many family mementos and artifacts from the site, Tusculum University, the Nolichuckey DAR, and Betsy Carrier which are not normally on display, and learn about the significant cultural role mourning played in the 19th century.
