Walk About Downtown

April Sees Return of Guided Walking Tours in Historic Downtown Greeneville, TN

Tennessee’s second oldest town is brought to life as you stroll down the same streets that Andrew Johnson did when he returned from the White House in 1869.

The 90-minute ’A Walk with the President’ guided tour, available through Main Street Greeneville Tours, will take you back in time.  Experience the architectural treasures of our historic churches and homes while walking the same streets as notable American heroes.  A stop at Old Harmony Cemetery will bring alive such stories as the great cholera epidemic of 1873.  Great photo opportunities are available during the stop at Tennessee’s oldest Goal (jail).

Now in its twenty-first year the walking tour along with its sister tour of the Dickson-Williams Mansion, which is offered daily at 1:00 pm, is conducted by professional guides ready to share their knowledge of this historic community.

Tickets may be purchased at the front desk of The General Morgan Inn where tours begin daily Monday through Saturday, April through October, at 9:30 AM.  For groups over twelve people please call Main Street Tours at 423-639-7102, during office hours Monday thru Friday at least twenty-four hours in advance.
