THE HERMITAGE
The Hermitage, the home of
President Andrew Jackson, is one of the largest and most
visited presidential homes in the United States; it is
located 12 miles east of downtown Nashville, Tennessee.
Since The Hermitage opened as a
museum in 1889 over 15 million
people have crossed its
threshold. At the time of
Jackson's death, 161
African-American slaves operated
the cotton plantation and
resided in dozens of slave
cabins scattered about the
1,050-acre plantation.
