Alaska Native Heritage Center
Andrew Johnson National Historic Site - Greeneville
The Andrew Johnson National Historic Site honors the life and work of the
nation's 17th President and preserves his two homes, tailor shop, and
grave site. Johnson 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.
The American Museum of Atomic Energy - Oak Ridge
The museum opened in 1949 in an old wartime cafeteria. It was originally
named the American Museum of Atomic Energy. Its guided tours took visitors
through the peaceful uses of atomic energy. The present facility, opened
in 1975, continues to provide the general public with energy information.
The name of the museum was changed to the American Museum of Science and
Energy in 1978.
Great Smoky Mountains National Park -
The national park, in the states of North Carolina and Tennessee,
encompasses 800 square miles of which 95 percent are forested. World
renowned for the diversity of its plant and animal resources, the beauty
of its ancient mountains, the quality of its remnants of Southern
Appalachian mountain culture, and the depth and integrity of the
wilderness sanctuary within its boundaries, it is one of the largest
protected areas in the east.
The Hermitage - Hermitage
The home of Andrew Jackson, this expansive cotton plantation centered by
the imposing mansion was the place Jackson always loved best, a place
where he was surrounded by family and welcomed friends and colleagues. In
addition to original colors and exactly reproduced textiles, almost all of
the furnishings, including furniture, silver, porcelains and portraits,
belonged to Jackson. Many of his personal possessions are also here
including a sword, hundreds of books, eyeglasses and Bible.
Rock City Gardens - Lookout Mountain
Take an unforgettable journey high atop Lookout Mountain with quiet
woodland paths and gardens. There are ancient rock formations and 400
species of plants, flowers and shrubs. Visitors can make a wish upon the
140-foot high falls, and wind their way through massive rock boulders and
caverns that bring them to Fairyland Caverns and Mother Goose Village.
