Rich Historical Heritage
Greene County enjoys a rich, historical heritage. Early settlers
followed Indians and animals to the Big Spring - a water source
that eventually served the growing town of Greeneville for
150 years.
Founded in 1783, Greeneville and Greene County were named
for Revolutionary War hero Nathanael Greene of Rhode Island.
It was to this flourishing community that Andrew Johnson came
in 1826 as an illiterate tailor’s apprentice. Self-educated, he
rose through every political office, from Greeneville alderman to
17th President of the United States. His home, tailor shop and
burial place, as well as a visitor center, are open to the public and
maintained as a National Historic Site by the U.S. Park Service.
Frontiersman Davy Crockett was born in Greene County, near
present-day Limestone, in 1786. He later died in Texas, defending
the Alamo during the war for Texas independence from Mexico.
During the Civil War, Greeneville changed hands several times.
Although the state voted to secede, East Tennessee was an
island of unionist sentiment.

Originally built in 1804-05, the stone jail was in the middle of Depot Street near the

so the creek water could be channeled to enter and flow through a trough in the
stone floor to carry away human waste. In 1838, the jail was moved stone by stone to
its present site. Open by appointment only.

Tusculum College
Old Harmony Graveyard
The oldest graveyard in present-day Greeneville, the tombstones date back to the
1790s. Valentine Sevier, who served as Circuit Court Clerk from 1810 until 1854, is
buried here, as well as Robert Kerr, first settler of Greeneville, and Mordecai Lincoln, a
tanner and Justice of the Peace, who performed Andrew Johnson’s wedding and was
a cousin of Abraham Lincoln. The upper corner is called the “cholera section” because,
in 1873, during an epidemic, trenches were dug and people were buried there when
they were dying faster than graves could be dug.

CIVIL WAR
TRAILS
BATTLE OF BLUE SPRINGS
This battle, fought on October 10, 1863, documented by both Union and Confederate
troops, was a major battle by all accounts. The battle of Blue Springs was the result
of a desperate effort of the Rebels to hold upper East Tennessee and the equal
determination of the Union forces to drive them from the state entirely.
POTTERTOWN BRIDGE BURNERS
Greene County, believed to be a hotbed of divided loyalties, was home to a
community nicknamed “Pottertown.” In this community lived Christopher A. Haun,
a potter that crafted pottery still highly valued today. Haun conspired with local
residents to cripple the rail system by burning railroad bridges.
TUSCULUM COLLEGE
Located on the campus of the oldest college in Tennessee, the Old College (1841) is
the only structure remaining from the earliest days of Tusculum College. Students
here burned then-Sen. Andrew Johnson in effigy before classes were finally
suspended. The college suffered greatly during the war due to occupation by soldiers
of both sides. The building is now the home of the President Andrew Johnson
Collection, Tusculum College Archives, and Tusculum Museum Studies Program.
UNIONIST STRONGHOLD
Before the war began, Greene County had a long history
of abolitionist settlement. It was not surprising, then, that
local residents overwhelmingly supported the Union when
Tennessee seceded in 1861. Tennessee denied 30 neighboring
counties’ request for creating a separate state after meeting
in Greeneville.
Greeneville changed hands many times during the war. The
Dickson-Williams Mansion served as headquarters for both
sides. Greeneville was also home to Andrew Johnson, who
moved here from North Carolina in 1826. He
assumed presidency after Abraham Lincoln’s
assassination in 1865. He was very ill-equipped
to reconcile a nation torn apart by war.
HANGINGS AT THE DEPOT
On November 9, 1861, after Union sympathizers burned several area railroad bridges,
Col. Danville Leadbetter arrived to rebuild the bridges and catch the perpetrators.
After being sentenced to death, Henry Fry and Jacob Hinshaw were marched up
Depot Street and hanged for their crimes. The third, Hugh Self, was imprisoned
because he was only 16.
THE DICKSON-WILLIAMS MANSION
Once known as the Showplace of East Tennessee, and built by Greeneville’s
first postmaster, the mansion and her owner, Catharine Williams, hosted many
U.S. Presidents as well as officers from both the Union and Confederate sides.
Confederate cavalry hero Gen. John Hunt Morgan spent the last night of his life in
this mansion and was later killed in the home’s garden Sept. 4, 1864. Daily tours are
given of the mansion.
DEATH OF GEN. JOHN HUNT MORGAN
During an exploration near Greeneville on September 3-4 in 1864, General Morgan
(nicknamed the Thunderbolt of the Confederacy) was staying overnight at the
Dickson-Williams Mansion and was surprised by the Federal Cavalry. Morgan and his
staff officers ran to a nearby church. He was later shot and killed by Union Pvt. Andrew
J. Campbell. Morgan’s death was a definite blow to the morale of Confederates
throughout the South.
