The museum itself was well done and the mansion was wonderfully persevered with a lot of neat artifacts. It's not often you get to walk into a museum that is that well preserved. Audio tour was good for the grounds and the guides inside the mansion were knowledgeable and friendly! My only reservation about the whole thing was how it seemed to gloss over his forced Indian removal policies entirely. Unless I missed something, which is possible, I only saw one mention outside of timelines that indicated anything about his forced removal of the Native American tribes. I felt this to be a major oversight in the curation of the museum. Overall, if you're a fan of history it is a very interesting stop if you're visiting Nashville!

We went to see the #1 historic house in TN (Andrew Jackson's Hermitage) and it was a highlight of our trip. We rented the audio device for an additional $5 and that was worth it. We took the Mansion tour before the grounds self-guided tour. What a homestead! It was interesting to hear all of the narration and stories from the days of Andrew Jackson, our 7th President. Great place to see. We went to Party Fowl for lunch afterwards (recommended by a staff member) and it did not disappoint. Made for a full day. Put this on your list of places to visit while in Nashville.

I did not know much about Andrew Jackson until I visited the Hermitage. The museum and movie did a good job covering his personal and public life. His estate home was well preserved. The tour guides were excellent - one got the feeling it would be hard to stump them with a question. The self-guided audio tour of the grounds was easy to follow and allowed for more in depth learning as desired. Parking was easy and free. We spent about 3 hours touring the house, museum, and grounds. The slave quarter tour was not available on the day we were there. I would allow 4 hours to see and tour everything.

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.
