The Hermitage is the historic plantation home of Andrew Jackson, located just outside Nashville.

Today, the Hermitage preserves approximately 1,120 acres, encompassing the mansion, formal gardens, outbuildings, and surrounding landscape.

Maintained as a museum and historic site, it offers insight into early American politics, frontier life, and the personal world of the nation’s seventh president, while also confronting the complex and often painful history of the enslaved people who lived and labored on the property.
