The Hermitage is a historical plantation and museum located in Davidson County, Tennessee, about 10 miles east of downtown Nashville. It was owned by Andrew Jackson, the seventh President of the United States, from 1804 until his death at the Hermitage in 1845. In 1889, the Hermitage was opened to the public as a museum, both of Jackson’s life and the antebellum South in general. The property was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1960.
