The Hermitage, Historic plantation in Nashville, Tennessee
The Hermitage estate encompasses 1,120 acres with a Greek Revival mansion featuring Corinthian columns, formal gardens, and multiple historical structures.
President Andrew Jackson acquired the 420-acre property in 1804, developing it from a modest farm into an extensive plantation that remained his home until 1845.
The mansion interior displays period furnishings, Italian marble mantels, crystal chandeliers, and the Eighth of January mantelpiece carved by a Battle of New Orleans veteran.
The plantation opens daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., offering guided tours, educational programs, seasonal events, and opportunities to explore the preserved grounds.
Archaeological investigations between 1988 and 2005 uncovered numerous artifacts and worker cabin remains, leading to an exhibition about plantation life in 2005.
