Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage and its collection

Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage
Source

The Hermitage, located just outside Nashville, Tennessee, is the former home of Andrew Jackson, seventh president of the United States. Once a working plantation, the site preserves Jackson’s mansion, gardens, and outbuildings while interpreting both his political legacy and the lives of the enslaved people who lived and labored there. Today, the Hermitage offers visitors a deeper look into early American history, the life of a president, and the complex realities of the 19th-century South.

The well-preserved plantation home and grounds provide an educational experience about early 19th-century American history.
