Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage

I came here on a Monday afternoon and was basically the only person in the whole place! I did the “In Their Footsteps” tour and it was super informative, I’d highly recommend it. The tour was about $50 per person but it was worth it. Overall the history is very interesting and I’d definitely recommend trying to visit here.

Great tour and beautiful property. Recently did the Belle Meade Plantation tour as well and this one was just as great. I didn't buy tickets in advance because they did not seem to be selling out online. I visited with my mother-in-law and she received a senior discount and I a veteran discount ($24 each).
The property is quite large. It takes about 7-8 minutes to walk to the mansion through the museum. You can head back and see the film if you don't get to it before your tour. I highly recommend watching the 17 minute film, it was excellent.
If deciding between this tour and Belle Meade, biggest differences are this one is more walking and more focused more on a person, better history guides. Belle Meade includes wine tasting for free ($3 here) at the end and is more focused on slavery.
We spent about 2.5 hours here. I could have spent more time but had lunch reservations. I would say budget 2 hours minimum. They will have audio headsets in the future which will be so much better. For now, you can listen to the stops online.
Learned so much about this amazing person and property! I would personally choose this over Bellmeade just because I like walking but Belle Meade is closer to Nashville and takes less time if you have mobility issues and time constraints.

Great amazing historical home well worth the visit! This home is one of the few in America that's fully preserved you must see to believe! Make sure and visit the souvenir shop they also have a small cafe take a step back in history.

I honestly was expecting a little more from this place since it costs $20 per person to even step foot on the grounds! I felt like the grounds were a little run down; trees and garden looked a little sad. A pro is that the grounds do allow dogs so my parents were able to bring their dog as we walked around. Staff was friendly and helpful. Bathrooms were clean and you could use those before paying the $20.

The Mansion Tour was nice.
They showed a short 25-minute movie about this place and the people
who had lived there.
The mansion was air-conditioned, which was good because of the extremely hot summer weather that week.
The four tour guides were nice and friendly and they gave our tour
a lot of interesting knowledge
about Andrew Jackson and his life
before and after his presidency.
They even politely answered our questions.
And we asked them a few.
It was my first time visiting here.
I bought some nice souvenirs.
Those ladies who worked in the gift shop were nice, friendly, and helpful.
We got a ride from an older gentleman
in a golf cart from the Mansion
back to the Museum and gift shop.
He told my husband
that he could drive for him.
I thought he was teasing;
but he was serious.
My husband talked to him
and we thanked him profusely for the ride.
We were tired of walking,
and it was so hot out
that we really appreciated that ride.
The other people, like us,
were hot and tired,
and I'm sure they also appreciated
that ride as well.
I would take our children
and grandchildren
back here to learn some
of our nation's history.
