Hermitage, Tennessee is a section of Metropolitan Nashville, Tennessee located in eastern Davidson County, adjacent to, and named in honor of, The Hermitage, home of Andrew Jackson, seventh President of the United States. Though the area is incorporated as part of the Nashville/Davidson County metropolitan government, it maintains its own identity as a residential and commercial suburban area.
Hermitage is a consolidated city-county government of Nashville, thus is a city and county that have been merged into one jurisdiction. As such, it is simultaneously a city, which is a municipal corporation; and a county, which is an administrative division of a state. This is the opposite of an independent city, which is a city that is not located within the boundaries of any county, but is separate from the neighboring county; however, an independent city can also result from the consolidation of a city and a county.
Hermitage is located immediately to the east of Donelson, another Nashville borough which is named in honor of Jackson's father-in-law John Donelson, and just to the west of Mount Juliet in adjacent Wilson County. A rural area only thirty years ago, Hermitage is now a thriving suburb with a highly-developed network of retail stores and typical suburban tract houses ranging from the "starter home" to the "executive residence".
The technology headquarters of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, the largest of the Big Four auditors, is located in Hermitage, spawning over 200,000 square feet and employing over 1,000 people. Hermitage is a small example of urban sprawl. An array of apartments exists as well. Major thoroughfares include U.S. Highway 70, Interstate 40, and State Route 45. The city also has a station on the new Music City Star commuter rail service.
Hermitage is divided from Donelson by the Stones River and its bottom lands, Clover Bottom. It has benefited greatly from the empoundment of the Stones by J. Percy Priest Dam, a nearby United States Army Corps of Engineers project, which provides a great deal of recreation opportunities, particularly in the summer months, and which has contributed greatly to the desirability and value of the area's real estate. Hermitage and Donelson are often thought of as something of a unit, and even have a joint Chamber of Commerce and Christmas parade.
The historical heritage found in this area is the Hermitage home of our 7'th President Andrew Jackson and is the most authentic early presidential home in America, where you'll be a honored guest in the Jackson family mansion, the formal garden, slave quarters, and the original log cabin the Jacksons occupied in 1804.
Their 1,100-acre plantation was once home to 150 enslaved African Americans who worked the farm, cultivated the gardens, tended livestock, baled cotton, cared for the home and its guests, and met countless other needs of the plantation.
Since 1889, The Hermitage has been run by the Ladies Hermitage Association and is funded only by ticket, sales, donations, and grants. It receives no state or federal money. Andrew Jackson always welcomed visitors to his home. Since The Hermitage opened as a museum in 1889 over 15 million people have crossed its threshold. We invite you to become part of that tradition.
When Andrew Jackson, died in this house in 1845, he left it to his adopted son with instructions that if he should need to sell the Hermitage, he was to offer it first to the state of Tennessee. In 1856 the state bought the home and 500 acres for $48,000. In 1889, the Ladies Hermitage Association was formed to preserve it as a memorial to Jackson, 7th president of the United States, and hero of the Battle of New Orleans.
