On the Road to Chalmette - Hermitage

The road to Chalmette from Columbus passes through Nashville, and you can't make that trip without stopping at the Hermitage - Andrew Jackson's home, a few miles outside Nashville.

I was greeted by guides from the Ladie's Hermitage Association dressed as the ladies dressed when Andrew Jackson returned from Washington at the end of his two terms as President of the United States. It was 1815 When Andrew Jackson, Old Hickory, led his troops to victory in the area near today's New Orleans is situated. The actual battle was fought very close to the site of today's Andrew Jackson Elementary School.
