The museum is surprisingly well done. The outside makes it look small but inside is very nice! The visit is well worth the price of admission. A great deal, especially for two people! All the cars are in great condition and quite a few that I have never seen before. I will return with friends and go again.

This museum was included with a student field trip to the Andrew Johnson home. I was very impressed with the multitude and diversity of artifacts, including military, quilts, farming, to name a few. I also found the display of slave descendants of the Johnson family display quite interesting. It is obvious that much care and detail has been given to the displays. There was also had a play area for very young children. My only regret is that we spent just 30 minutes here. I literally could have stayed for hours. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful as well.

This was a very interesting place to visit while I was staying about 20 minutes away. President Andrew Johnson's birthplace home is close by.

“I am so pleased and excited to continue our role as a fixture on Greeneville’s Main Street, particularly in this building that symbolizes the effort to preserve and renew Greeneville's history,” says gallery director JamesBen Stockton. The connection to generations past is reflected in the new location of James-Ben: Studio and Gallery Art Center in Greeneville’s downtown historic district. Already enjoying its new home within the Crescent School #201, which is the old band room for the former elementary school, the young people of Greeneville were taught from 1925 to 1981. We were recruited to come from Franklin, TN to be a center for the arts community, to interface between our arts community and Greene County at large and to provide arts employment by merchandising the spectacular works created by the remarkable artists and artisans in Upper East Tennessee. One of the most appealing features of the space is the natural light coming from high windows on the north, west, and south sides. “There is a good reason artists prefer natural light for creating their work,” says Stockton."I'm frequently asked how a gallery with the range and quality of art featured in our small gallery arrived in this Historical Community. That answer is extremely simple and obvious: we LOVE interacting and being a part of our community!
