Unlike some other historical sites, The Hermitage has been in a state of continuous preservation since Andrew Jackson himself lived there. The plantation was deeded to the State of Tennessee by Jackson's heirs. You will see the mansion very much as Jackson did, and learn a lot about the man and the hard way of life in his time. A...

I love when a historical site lets you wander a bit and explore at your own pace, while also making interesting information available for you.

The Hermitage is delightful to visit. The audio tour is FREE! The tour guides at the house are so good. Interesting that so many things were painted differently.

Beautifully restored house and grounds, very historic regardless of your opinion of Andrew Jackson, way more to see than our tour time allowed, had only two hours, need at least four to see everything, good educational experience for kids.
