Located just east of the junction of the North and
South Forks of the Holston River, Long Island was a sacred
council and treaty ground surrounded by the vast hunting
territory of the Cherokee Nation. Starting at Long Island
in March 1775, Daniel Boone (1734-1820) led a team of 30
axmen to open the trail through Cumberland Gap that was to
gain fame as the Wilderness Road. Between 1775 and 1795,
this trail was used by more than 200,000 emigrants.

land. Also, in 1780, the site served as the rendezvous
point for the Overmountain Men on their way to Kings
Mountain, where they contributed to the defeat of the
British Army.
Andrew
Johnson National Historic Site
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. Andrew Johnson's
life exemplifies many struggles faced by Americans today.
He 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. His
work helped shape the future of the United States and his
influences continue today.
