Long Description : Located on the eastern outskirts of Nashville, this two-story antebellum mansion was the home of Andrew Jackson, seventh president of the United States. The mansion was originally built as a brick Federal-style structure in the years 1819-21, and then greatly expanded in 1831. Following an upstairs fire in 1834, it was rebuilt in the Greek Revival style, with six massive Corinthian columns lining the front. After leaving from the presidency in 1837, “Old Hickory” returned to The Hermitage and lived there until his death in 1845. Today this National Historic Landmark is maintained to look much as it did in 1837. Costumed guides lead visitors through the mansion with over 85% of its original Jackson family pieces. On the 1120 acres of grounds surrounding the mansion are the humble log homes where slaves lived and the formal gardens where the Jacksons are buried. The visitor center displays changing exhibits from across the country and a café.
