Holiday Evening Tours

Take an after-hours tour of Andrew Jackson’s home and learn more about him and his family. Experience the holidays and the origins of many of their Christmas traditions, such as why they never had a Christmas tree but hung stockings on the General’s sofa. Discover the reason why guns and firecrackers were holiday traditions or what prompted someone to yell, “Christmas gift!” As a family man, General Jackson loved to surround himself with family and friends, so visit The Hermitage with a loved one and share in the Jackson traditions.
