The Hermitage was the home of Andrew Jackson, the seventh U.S. president, from 1804 until his death in 1845. A visit covers the Greek Revival mansion completed in 1837, the garden tomb where Jackson and his wife Rachel are buried, museum exhibits and grounds spanning 1,120 acres. It was a cotton plantation, and about 110 enslaved people lived here by the time Jackson died. The site is a National Historic Landmark run by the Andrew Jackson Foundation.
