The home of Andrew Jackson is an amazing place. The grounds are beautiful and the house is remarkable to see. Great historical landmark to take in while visiting Nashville .

Divya Mulanjur

Great piece of history. The house tour is done by very experienced people and they answer all of your questions. Very interesting and worth a visit when in Nashville .

Mr. Teddy

Fun to see how 99% of things were are original from Andrew's life! Quite fun to see!! Impressive! I only wish the rooms were open like othe places like the Belmont Mansion!

Jeff B

This is a MUST! So much history cant believe how much is original. Have to look at the 200 year old “wall paper” Do this right take 3-4 hrs to see all if not that much time go straight to the house.

Travis Statham

Confusing museum with too many pop outs. I learned the most during the short film . The wallpaper in the mansion was probably my favorite part, 182 years old and gorgeous blues .

C-SPAN

Jackson's home began as a log cabin sitting on 425 acres in 1804 to a grand home stretching 1,050 acres by his death in 1845. To learn more about his home's transformation watch this C-SPAN video. Read more

C-SPAN

The “Andrew Jackson: Born For a Storm” exhibit tells the story of Jackson from his upbringing through his victory over the British at the Battle of New Orleans. To learn more watch this C-SPAN video. Read more

Scott Bryant

Really amazing experience here. This is a must see spot when in Nashville , you will learn a ton about our 7th pres. The staff is super helpful and informative.

Suzanne E Jones

Beautiful home and grounds . I love the family cemetary and the fact that his slave was loved so much that he was burried beside President Jackson

ᴡ Handy

Take the lantern night tour to get a great/eerie view of the mansion (they let you take pictures at night!)

Carolina Revilla

Great history tour of Andrew Jackson's life and home. If you have small children ensure to bring a sling or baby carrier as strollers are not allowed inside the mansion.

Dustin Soper

President Andrew Jackson's former home. Very good photography opportunities on the grounds and the tour guides are super knowledgeable !

Lesley Espinosa

Beautiful place!! Go early because you will have to walk alot to explore every part of it! Worth it ????

Laurie Hillman

I used to work at the Hermitage if you love American History or just love antiques this is a plantation home for you.. Ask alot of questions as this home is loaded with items I would also tell guest

Jerry Starnes

Great history lesson! Unfortunately, we had to cut our visit short due to thunderstorm. We'll be back!

Dustin Lee

Way more interesting than you'd expect. Does a great job of presenting information in a neutral way.

James C

Great history to the president. Amazing grounds to walk around.

Katie Keller

Very educational place full of American history. The audio tour is excellent.

Princess Consuela

Definitely recommend the extra $11 for the carriage tour - it's so charming!

Robert Winfree

Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage at 40 minutes drive to the northeast of Nashville dentist Nashville Smiles

Tony Jones

Bad policy. You have to pay FULL price just to walk on the grounds and see the exterior of the house only and visit the graves. Insane. It should be half price at the most without going into the home

Tyler Jones

There are three things to know about Jackson. He killed the Bank , he killed the Indians, and he killed the British.

Ashley R.

Really awesome that most of the furniture is original. Don't go during summer time.

BoB Darnell

Highly recommend visiting. We paid up for a VP tour that was guaranteed to have a max of 12 guests. Tour had 17 ???? That sucked.

Ron Tarafa

Good for wasting the afternoon with out of town guest ... Bring your walking shoes

Michael Atchley, DDS

Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage at 7 minutes drive to Dental Bliss Hermitage

Steven Cone

Make sure to ask about the Confederate Soldier Home that was once on the grounds .

Jeff Rayvid

Nicest house in town . No student discount is rough though. Not sure General Jackson would approve of that.

Celeste Henkelmann

This was such a disappointing and disheartening experience. Inefficient process, uninformed staff , INCOMPLETE information on tours (seriously, no mention of Trail of Tears??), and dead plants.

The Hermitage

In October we'll be offering Ghost Tours throughout the month!
