THE HERMITAGE: The Hermitage, Home of President Andrew Jackson, is one of the largest and most visited presidential homes in the United States. In 1856, the State of Tennessee purchased the property from the Jackson family, entrusting it to the Ladies’ Hermitage Association in 1889 to operate as one of America’s first historic site museums. Today, The Hermitage is a 1,120-acre National Historic Landmark with over 30 historic buildings, including restored slave cabins. Thanks to efforts of the Ladies’ Hermitage Association, the mansion is the most accurately preserved early presidential home in the country.

The Hermitage was Nashville’s first Smithsonian Institution Affiliate Museum; a "Partner Place" with the National Trust for Historic Preservation; and a site along the National Park Service’s Trail of Tears National Historic Trail.
