The Hermitage Description
Similar to Belle Mead, this restored 1837 plantation also features livestock barns, slave cabins, and the graves of President Andrew Jackson and his family. Best for older kids and teens, who will enjoy watching the archaeologists excavating on site. The audio tour brings the history of the antebellum South vividly to life.
