A must see for any history buffMy husband and I enjoy history, so this was on our list of things to do while in Nashville and I'm so glad we went! It was a rather hot day, but the grounds were beautiful. The audio tour was good and had a lot of information and allowed you to go along at your own pace. The home however was done by actual tour guides and no photography is ...2 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulSHOW FULL REVIEW

Great Place for Older PeopleWe went recently and it was very nice. They had a Southern restaurant, a theater, a museum, cabins and more. There is lot to do and see. It is a great place to visit for older people. We went when we were younger and more interested in taking a back pack. Just a reminder that you can't take backpacks in the home. There is a old map of ...1 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulSHOW FULL REVIEWOVERALL

I was taken back in time-hope the ladies get what they need to keep it restoredWe went on the wagon ride and were so glad that we did-it transported you back to the actual time-I could practically hear the sounds of the day-I'm sorry I can't remember the wagon driver's name but he was excellent and obviously enjoys his job-Thank you so much for keeping an important part of history alive.

I'm glad I wentWalking the same paths, staircases and hallways as President Jackson and his family was an almost reverent experience. There was still the lingering feeling of a well-loved home, and the shared happiness of a family. I liked the personal tour guides as opposed to an audio tour, which must have been discontinued since some of the earlier reviews ...1 of 1 Yahoo!

mY son wanted to "be" Andrew JacksonWhen we went to the Hermitage the first time, my now-28-yr-old son was only 9 years old. At that time, there were live docents escorting visitors through the home. The second time, several years later, the human guides had been replaced with headphones. ARRRGH!
My two sons refused to wear the headphones and insisted on taking the tour ...2 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulSHOW FULL REVIEWOVERALLAtmosphereValue -
My day at the HermitageI really enjoyed my day at the Hermitage. I was provided with an audio guide which was very helpful as I walked through. The grounds are beautiful and so very rich with history. The tour is very family friendly and what better way to reinforce a history lesson than actually taking the kids to see first hand where it took place. My family will definitely be planning another visit.1 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulOVERALLAtmosphereValue

Very interesting historical siteThe Hermitage is a nice place to spend a few hours visiting the museum, wandering the grounds, and talking to the guides. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and friendly. The mansion tour is a bit short, but there is plenty to see of a home well preserved from the early 1800s. The pamphlet and signs are brief but informative.

Great Presidential EstateThey've done a great job preserving the home and land. The small museum is well done and they've added a horse drawn wagon ride around the property/fields with a guide giving more details as you ride along. The garden/burial area is one of the better maintained I've seen for these types of sites. Interpretors are very good. A must see if you're in the area and have any interest in American history.You did not find this review helpful.12 of 13 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulOVERALLAtmosphereValue
