We toured The Hermitage on our recent trip to Nashville. The tour guides were extremely knowledgeable about the house and life during the early to mid 1800s. I learned a lot about Andrew Jackson from what I felt was a balanced perspective. The estate itself is sprawling with many old outbuildings that can also be visited. There is a nature trail down to the creek as well. Andrew Jackson’s grave is on the premises in a small cemetery. I also recommend stopping by the gift shop to grab some local items and books! I consider this one of a handful of must-visit spots in Nashville.

We arrived without tickets and purchased them at the window and was told that a tour was starting soon so we skipped everything at the beginning and headed right up to the mansion. In hindsight I would have preferred to watch the video and read about all the information first before heading up to the mansion. When we arrived at the mansion we got a bit of information outside before heading inside. There was a different guide for each part of the house which I found a bit odd and would have liked to have the same person for the whole thing. Also there is no photography allowed even without a flash. It would be nice to have a way to purchase some photos of the house and I didn't see anything like that in the gift shop. After touring the mansion we then headed out to the grounds. It was a beautiful sunny day! We had the devices for the audio tour but only mine worked so we both had to listen on the same one. It also looked like some of the signs were supposed to have an audio portion but they were missing. We ended up spending about five hours altogether and it wasn't that busy so we found it quite peaceful.

Great experience. Very informative. Learned a lot. A must for those interested in American history. Jackson was a compelling and complicated figure. Well worth the trip and 3 hours we spent on site. Mansion tour with guides. Remainder of tour via audio download on your smartphone.

"Wonderful addition to our visit to Nashville!"

My husband and I visited Nashville and had already been to Broadway and seen the things people see when they come to Nashville. It was louder and a bit more chaotic than we prefer and so we opted to find something with both history and natural beauty. Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage was absolutely perfect for us - in fact, it was better than expected! The staff are gracious and knowledgeable and the grounds are pristine. We loved that we could take a guided tour of the mansion but then were able to roam the estate grounds at our leisure. Excellent site to see and would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!

I was excited to visit the Hermitage after recently finishing Jon Meacham’s biography of the controversial president. The property is lovely and makes it easy to understand why the President was so eager to come back home from the White House. The interior of the mansion has been well preserved despite the multiple changes in residents following Jackson’s death. I’d also recommend visiting the museum and watching the short film.
