Made the drive out here to see this. If you want to see what a plantation looked like in the old south, this is a great example. There is a lot to see here. I would recommend 3-4 hours to see the entire thing, and be prepared to do a lot of walking. The visitor's center provides audio devices free... more

Well worth the fee to get in! Headsets were part of the admission and gave insight into many aspects of Andrew Jackson's home. Would highly recommend a visit if you are visiting Nashville or the area. more

This place is great. We went in the morning and there was no crowd. It was hot out side and since some things are outside, be prepared. And bring your walking shoes. Was able to get in and out of the house quickly. The free audio tour was very helpful and the staff was very friendly. more

This is the home and plantation of president Andrew Jackson. The tour starts in the visitor centre with a short movie, it for me was just to much information about the man and not his home we were about to see. We walk up to the mansion and it is very beautiful from the front, tour guides dressed in period... more

We have toured a substantial number of historic homes and this is one of the most thorough. We learned the guides are paid and not volunteers, so that may be a factor. (?) Definitely worth the time and $$; very informative and interesting. more

We really had a good time visiting the Hermitage. We actually ran out of time because we had to get to the Grand Ole Opry so I would recommend you plan at LEAST half a day to see and do everything. We paid extra for the carriage tour which was ok. It was HOT the day we went and the... more

I love the self-guided tours, you don't have to keep up with the rest of the group and can go at your own pace. It also is great if you are traveling with small children. The inside guided tour of the house only takes about 20 minutes. more

I spent a few hours here and really enjoyed how peaceful the grounds were. I watched the movie (I was not into it at first, but am glad I did). I went towards the end of the day so I was able to get a "private" tour. The guides were great and very interactive. Ispent a short time walking the... more

We spent 2+ hours here exploring the house and grounds. We saw the film, browsed the shop, and went through the house with guides who seemed enthusiastic and knowledgeable about their subject in particular and about U.S. history in general. Tickets were $17.00 per person. AAA members show your card and perhaps get a discounted price. One of the guides... more
