Wintertime Wagon Tours
For those looking for a unique learning experience, we are happy to announce that our popular interpretive wagon tour will be extended throughout the winter months, giving visitors insight into the winter and holiday activities of the enslaved communities. This half-hour tour of the Hermitage grounds by horse-drawn wagon takes visitors to the First Hermitage where Jackson lived from 1804 to 1821, to the site of the Cotton Gin and Press, to the Field Quarter, and to several archaeological sites associated with slavery and farming.
