Andrew Jackson's Hermitage - Home of the People's President

Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage is a 1,120-acre National Historic Landmark and the historic home of the nation’s seventh president. Open to the public since 1889 and welcoming more than 15 million guests, The Hermitage invites visitors to explore more than 8 historic buildings, beautiful gardens, scenic walking trails, and the final resting place of Andrew Jackson and his wife, Rachel.

Through preserved structures, immersive exhibits, and guided interpretation, guests gain insight into the complexities of leadership and daily life in the early United States. Interpretation also shares the stories of the enslaved men, women, and children whose labor sustained the plantation, offering a fuller understanding of the people and systems that shaped this historic site. Widely regarded as one of the best-preserved early presidential homes in the country, The Hermitage provides a meaningful and reflective experience for visitors of all ages.

Guests can also enjoy shopping in the Museum Store, featuring unique and locally inspired gifts, and take a break at Andrew & Rachel’s Cafe for light fare, picnic-friendly options, and wine tastings.

The mission of the Andrew Jackson Foundation is to preserve the home of Andrew Jackson, create engaging learning opportunities, and inspire citizenship through experiencing his life and legacy.

Grounds tickets may be upgraded on site to include a guided mansion tour, subject to availability.
