    A must see destination
    I have gone twice now to the Hermitage, it is a great place to see the history of Andrew Jackson and the Mansion Tour was worth the extra cost, My wife loved it and there is a lot of family history the guide explains almost taking you back in time. The grounds are large and good to take your time and pace yourself, I use a cane to walk and did it fine. The gift shop is fun and has some interesting things, the food at the restaurant is good and worth having lunch at. Be sure to take in the short documentary that is the start of your self guided tour and goes over the history of the former President. The museum part is next and many personal items of his and historical items from the Battle of New Orleans, be sure to go into every room, I missed one on my first visit there. It is a special place, if you enjoy Presidential Libraries you will enjoy this destination.

    Great History Lessons
    Visited on a Sunday morning after getting our tickets for the house tour online, but there were such few people could have easily purchased onsite. Timed tour for the house which is about a 10 minute walk from the museum so we had to bypass the museum. Very interesting docents tell the story of Andrew and Rachel Jackson, the evolution of the house and life during those times. House tour was probably only 45 minutes but we spent another hour walking the grounds to see the spring house, original log home, slave cabins, gardens and the family cemetery.
