34) Andrew Johnson Museum

Visited: Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011

You know, it feels good when something you say sinks in. Some time ago, Ben got a book about the US presidents - but one with a particular bias. I pointed this out to Ben at the time.

And then, many years later, we visited the Andrew Johnson museum - and Ben remembered the book, and my comment. Because Johnson is typically reduced, in history, to his impeachment; the Andrew Johnson museum gave a much more complete (albeit with it sown bias) picture.

And, even better, preserves two of Johnson's Greenville homes _and_ his tailor shop. Even better, since Megan's ankle was bothering her, we were there alone - and the ranger showed us both the general video _and_ a video tour of the Johnson homestead, so that Megan could avoid the stairs. This is exactly my type of NPS site, and it's very nicely done - and quiet.
