Andrew Johnson National Historic Site
Be A Junior Ranger

The Andrew Johnson National Historic Site offers two Junior Ranger booklets. One is geared toward younger children, the other one for older children. You can ask the staff member at the Visitor Center desk for copies of each and decide which one better suits your needs.

To complete each booklet, visit the different areas of the park - the Visitor Center/Museum, the Tailor Shop, the Early Home, the Homestead, and the Cemetery. There will be questions or activities to complete based upon what you learn at each of these areas. When you are done, bring your booklet back to the Visitor Center so we can check your booklet and award you a Junior Ranger badge!  

You can also become a web ranger, and visit the National Parks online. Visit www.nps.gov/webrangers.
