The Hermitage
While practicing law, Andrew Jackson earned money by buying land and selling it to new settlers. Jackson turned a huge profit, purchasing the land for as little as 10¢ an acre and selling it for as much as $3 an acre. In 1804, he bought a large plantation 12 miles from Nashville, Tennessee, which became known as the Hermitage. During the next four decades, the Hermitage was transformed into a highly successful plantation. At the center of the estate was a beautiful Greek Revival mansion. Jackson and his wife Rachel were known for their hospitality and frequently entertained guests. Today, the Hermitage has been restored to appear as it did during Jackson’s lifetime.
