Quote: Given that we had our toddlers with us on our trip, we chose to visit only one plantation. We decided on visiting the Hermitage since it was owned by President Jackson, and is filled with most of the original items in the house from his time.... Read the full The Hermitage review

Quote: Our first day trip came on day six. Rain was in the forecast for Chattanooga (and as we are not Elvis fans, ruling out Memphis), so we headed west to Nashville (about a 2-hour drive) in nice weather. The Hermitage was the home of Andrew Jackson,... Read the full The Hermitage review

The Hermitage

  • 3 out of 5 stars by Bobseesit from Wilmington, Massachusetts
  • May 12, 2025
Quote: We chose this tour from those offered in the Opryland Hotel because I preferred history over the homes of stars. It was very low key and interesting. The rooms of the house could only be viewed through glass panels, which is understandable.
