The visitor center shows a 13.5 minute film about Johnson and his time in Greeneville.

It is surrounded by a memorial building built by the state of Tennessee in 1923 to prevent wear and tear upon the tailor shop.

Andrew Johnson's first Greeneville home is located across the Street from the visitor complex.

It required renovations when the family returned to the house after Johnson's leaving the presidency in 1869.

On June 5, 1878, the city erected a 28-foot (8.5 m)-tall marble statue in his honor by Johnson's grave.

She further pushed in 1900 to make the site a national cemetery, so that instead of the Johnson family's maintaining it, the federal government would.
