June, 2008

The 2008 Greeneville Tennessee Iris Festival took place on a beautiful blue-sky weekend. The festival, typically attended by around 35,000 visitors, was spread throughout the historic town of Greeneville, Tennessee, the home of Andrew Johnson throughout much of his adult life.

"Greeneville, the festival's central point is surrounded by history and enhanced by Richland Creek which is lined with native iris and is always a draw for the younger generation on hot festival days. On each of the four corners in the central area are monuments to Andrew Johnson, 17th President of the United States."
