    Christmas is in the air at The Hermitage. This December we will feature a multitude of holiday delights for all ages, highlighted by specialized evening tours.

    The 1.5 hour long tours will take place on December 13th at 6:30pm. Experience the renowned Hermitage mansion in the evening light as did President Andrew Jackson and his family when they kept Christmas in the 1830s and 40s. In addition, guests will learn how Americans celebrated the holiday during Jacksonian Era. The “candlelight” tours will include The Hermitage mansion, Alfred’s Cabin, and the Jackson family cemetery. Tickets are available ONLY online at www.thehermitage.com

    “We feel it is important to offer our guests insights into the pre-Civil War Christmas traditions that differ greatly from how we commemorate the holiday today. Customs and cultures were different during Jackson’s lifetime, nothing like Christmas today,” said Howard Kittell, President and CEO. “I also might add that there is something special about the opportunity to tour the mansion at night. It is a magical experience this time of year.”
