On a recent vacation to Tennessee, I wanted to include a stop at the Andrew Johnson National Historic Site. As an American history buff, I love visiting sites and learning more about the individuals. I have always felt that Johnson was a “wrong place, wrong time” individual, thus making him the first impeached President in US history. This delightful site, completed with movie, recreated birthplace, first home in Greenville, original tailor shop, small museum, final resting place, and the final family home, encompassed much of who Johnson was! I thoroughly enjoyed learning more about Lincoln’s second vice president. Our tour guide, ranger Emma, was incredibly knowledgeable about the life and times of Johnson; complete with stories of the impact of a Southern President with no Congressional support during the Reconstruction. We were also there during a boy scout venue on the property, so we were treated to costumed docents in addition, to uniformed ones. The boy scouts added to the authenticity with some firing demonstrations. As a warning, there isn’t much else in the area.

What a nice, short hike and the falls is really impressive, especially after a hard rain!! The first half is flat and easy, but then the second half(after the bridge) gets a bit steep and rocky. There is one small creek crossing where your feet may get wet. And it's very close to "The Wandering Llamas" where we can hike with llamas, too!
4. Buffalo Trail Orchard

We wanted to get some fresh apples for fall baking. What a thrill to find a U-pick orchard in Greeneville! They update their hours and info on Facebook, so be sure to check there before you go. We arrived right when they opened on Saturday morning. We went in to see the small store area and purchased some jelly, apple butter, and the bags for the apples. It was $10 for a peck bag, very reasonable. (The staff checked to make sure we wore masks inside the store). The kids had so much fun picking apples! Many apples were bruised or rotten, so we taught them how to look for the unblemished fruit. It only took a few minutes to fill the bags and head on our way. By that time, the orchards were full of apple picking visitors. We enjoyed some of the fresh apples when we got home. Delicious! I love knowing where our food comes from. We'll definitely visit Buffalo Trail again!

We stopped on our way through to Knoxville, and were impressed by the impeccable grounds. Climbing Signal Hill, there are grave markers surrounding the final resting place of Andrew Johnson, our 17th President. His gravesite at the top of the hill is circled with his ancestors, and affords gorgeous vistas of the surrounding mountains. Quite a beautiful place and worth a visit.

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.
