The Hermitage, Home of President Andrew Jackson

Since its founding in 1889, the Ladies’ Hermitage Association has protected, preserved, and opened to the public The Hermitage, home of Andrew Jackson, 7th President of the United States. Since that date, more than 20 million people have visited this 1,120-acre National Historic Landmark located on the eastern edge of Davidson County. The Hermitage is one of the four most visited presidential sites in the United States alongside Mt. Vernon, Monticello and the Lincoln Home. The site includes numerous original buildings including the Greek Revival-style mansion, slave cabins as well as archaeological sites all of which provide great insight into President Jackson, his family and slaves, and the Jacksonian Era.
