Andrew Jackson's Hermitage
National Historic Landmark · Nashville, Tennessee
The cotton plantation twelve miles east of Nashville that Andrew Jackson bought in 1804 and lived on until he died in 1845, with the Greek Revival mansion he rebuilt after a fire in 1834 and his tomb in the garden beside it. It was worked by enslaved people — around 150 of them at Jackson's death — and the site now interprets that alongside the presidency rather than behind it, with a reconstructed cabin, the excavated field quarter and the descendants' research at the centre of the visit.
4580 Rachel's Lane, Nashville, Tennessee, 37076, United States
Open daily, generally 9 AM - 5 PM with shorter winter hours and last mansion tour well before closing. Closed Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year's Day.
