The Andrew Johnson National Historic Site’s annual Holiday Open House will be held Friday, December 2, 2022, at the historic Andrew Johnson Homestead, located at 209 South Main Street, from 5:00 PM until 8:30 PM. The event is free.
Jump-start your holiday season with a visit to your national park. The Andrew Johnson Homestead will be decorated in authentic Victorian Holiday décor. This year, staff will be offering three short interpretive talks for attendees around a toasty campfire. Beginning at 6:00 pm, staff will present “Johnson and the Origins of the Homestead Act,” followed at 6:30 pm by “Why Andy for Vice President?” At 7:15 PM the Asbury Children’s’ Choir will perform, followed by another short interpretive talk on “The Women of the Andrew Johnson’s Life.”
Light refreshments and hot cider will be provided by the Andrew Johnson Heritage Association while supplies last. Kids are invited to make their own special Christmas decoration at the kid’s crafts table.
Come visit the home of our 17th President on a beautiful Friday evening in December. This year’s event, made possible with support from the Andrew Johnson Heritage Association, will take you back in time for cheerful Victorian-era Holiday. You won’t want to miss it.
