Please be aware in planning that the 10:00 and 11:00 a.m. tours of the presidential Homestead will not be available on April 25 and 30th, 2025, due to visiting education groups. The afternoon tours (2:00 and 3:00 p.m.) will be offered as scheduled.
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.
The Andrew Johnson NHS friends' group, the Andrew Johnson Heritage Association, will conduct a day of remembrance for the veterans and their families buried in the Andrew Johnson National Cemetery.
