Carriage Rides Through Time at Andrew Jackson's Hermitage The Hermitage Enslaved: A Horse Drawn Wagon Tour
operates exclusively at Andrew Jackson's Hermitage.
(23)

"The Hermitage Enslaved" is a horse drawn wagon tour that takes visitors beyond the Hermitage Mansion and into the plantation fields where the majority of the enslaved men, women, and children worked, toiled, and lived under the ownership of General Andrew Jackson. On the tour your wagon driver will discuss the story of how cotton, the cash crop and the enslaved people who tended it were vital to

the economy and lifestyle of the Jackson's while also examining how that enslaved community carved out lives of their own despite the "chains" that bound them. On the journey you will have the opportunity to view archaeological sites and remains associated with slavery, cotton, and farming on the Hermitage grounds. The scenic ride lets you experience the 1120 acres from the comfort of a horse-drawn wagon.

Hello! I am posting about my daughters crowd funding fundraiser for a much needed medical procedure... Everyone could you please take the time to go to the Give Send Go page and hit share. Once you hit share it will give you a link to copy and paste. Please paste that link on ALL your social media accounts with a story you have about Kierstan and her journey with RSD. The more people we get to share the post the more chance of raising enough money for her to follow through with these treatments.
I am desperately trying to raise the funds for her to have a chance at a life and be an engaged mom like we all take for granted. Please?

When Kierstan was in 9th grade, she was at band camp and rolled her right ankle. We could not have known how that moment would change her life and alter her...
