28 Andrew Johnson National Historic Site
- One of the homes where Andrew Johnson, 17th president of the United States, lived.
The Andrew Johnson National Historic Site includes the tailor shop where Johnson worked in the 1830s and two of his homes, both restored, one containing many of his personal belongings. He is buried in the National Cemetery at the site. Johnson (1808–1875), tailor, alderman, military governor of Tennessee, Congressman, and United States senator, was vice president under Lincoln. Upon Lincoln’s death he became the 17th president of the United States, the only one never to have had formal education and the only one to have been returned to Congress after serving as president. During his presidency he was impeached by the radical Congress for his lenient Reconstruction policies and escaped conviction by only one vote.
