The Hermitage was the home of Andrew Jackson, the seventh president of the United States. It lies about 20 kilometers east of Nashville. The main house is in the Greek Revival style and retains many original Jackson family belongings. The grounds include gardens, the tomb of Andrew and Rachel Jackson, an early log cabin, and the remains of slave quarters. The exhibits also candidly address the history of plantation slavery and Indian removal policies. Admission starts at about US$30 and includes an audio guide or a guided tour of the mansion. Plan for half a day, and combine your visit with the Grand Ole Opry on the same day.
