Andrew Johnson's life exemplifies many struggles faced by Americans today. He worked his way from tailor to President. He stood strong for his ideals and beliefs. His presidency, from 1865 - 1869, illustrates the United States Constitution at work following Lincoln's assassination and during attempts to reunify a nation that had been torn by civil war. His work helped shape the future of the United States and his influences continue today. </div> <bR> <div> The Andrew Johnson Homestead is located off Main Street in Greeneville, Tennessee. This was the President's home from 1851 until his death in 1875. He was born on December 29, 1808. In 1826, Johnson moved from Raleigh, North Carolina, to Greeneville, Tennessee. He worked as a tailor in a small shop. In 1827, he married Eliza McCardle. They had five children (Martha, Charles, Mary, Robert, Andrew Johnson Jr.). He was elected Vice President on November 8, 1864. After Lincoln was assassinated, he was sworn in as<IMG SRC="2ecab800.jpg" border=0 width="171" height="128" ALIGN="LEFT" HSPACE="10" VSPACE="10"> President on April 15, 1865. Johnson was the 17th President of the United States from 1865-1869. After he was acquitted of impeachment charges, he returned to Greeneville in 1869. He died July 31, 1875. There is a visitor center where Johnson's tailor shop is located, a museum, and the 1830's Johnson home. The visitor center and homestead are open every day except Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. Rangers offer guided tours through the homestead. The cemetery where Andrew Johnson, his wife, children, and other descendants are buried at is nearby.

Included in that redecoration was wallpaper for the formal rooms, the bedrooms and the central hall. Through the years the original wallpapers were destroyed. Thus, with no original wallpaper fragments to reproduce, documented patterns appropriate to the the period were selected. All the wallpapers used during this restoration came from <A HREF="http://www.carterandco.com/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.carterandco.com/"><U>Carter & Co</U></A> located in Califorinia. </div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="553" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 220 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="32a17d60.jpg" border=0 width="279" height="214" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="32910d60.jpg" border=0 width="272" height="214" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 278 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="363100b0.jpg" border=0 width="272" height="267" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="36406100.jpg" border=0 width="262" height="272" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 313 ><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="36510310.jpg" border=0 width="272" height="305" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="3661f330.jpg" border=0 width="287" height="307" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div>                               </div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div>                           </div> <div>               </div> <bR> <div>                              </div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
