The Hermitage, the home of President Andrew
Jackson, situated 12 miles from Nashville, has
been called the Mt. Vernon of the South,
Through the Ladies' Hermitage Association the
handsome old estate has been preserved and
appears just as it did in the days of “Old
Hickory." The architecture is colonial, the
verandas are wide and long and the rooms are
large and spacious. The original Hermitage was
built in 1804 of logs and part of it is still
standing. In 1805, Aaron Burr was entertained
in this log house. It was to this log house, also,
that General Jackson returned the conquering
hero and the idol of the nation after the battle
of New Orleans. The present mansion was built
in 1819. General Lafayette was entertained at
the Hermitage in 1825, and President Roose-
velt visited there in 1907. In the yard are the
graves of Andrew Jackson and his wife and
other members of the family.
