Landscape Tours

Offered daily

During "The Changing Landscape, Then and Now" tour, guests will learn of the changing Hermitage landscape, walking from the backyard fence line around the mansion to the western edge of the garden fence.  Stops will be made along the way. The tour will provide an overview of the Jackson farm, the people and activities, and introduce them to the different areas and exhibits, which they can visit either before or after the regular Mansion Tour, or as they enjoy the Audio Tour stops.

The Landscape Tour takes approximately thirty minutes and is for any guest, with or without the Audio Tour equipment.  The amount of walking is minimal and non-strenuous. There is no additional charge.

The horse-drawn Wagon Slavery Tours are now running daily. The cost is $7 per person and tickets may be purchased with admission tickets. This is one of our most popular educational tours.
