Andrew Johnson National Monument Emerges From Greeneville Home
President Roosevelt signed a proclamation designating Greeneville Tennessee as the site of a national monument. The simple clapboard house once hosted Andrew Johnson’s tailor shop where his remarkable public career began, spanning alderman to president and beyond. Johnson rose from humble beginnings to lead as vice president then president after Lincoln’s assassination, resisting radical Republicans who impeached him by one vote but remaining a Tennessee senator later. He died July 31, 1875, and his grave near Greeneville was marked with an American flag and a copy of the Constitution.
