## About

A special evening Christmas tour of Andrew Jackson's Hermitage by lantern light. Guests explore the mansion and surrounding grounds after dark while a guide shares early 19th-century holiday décor and traditions, stories and memories from the Jackson family — including the loss of Rachel Jackson just days before Christmas — and how some of America's Christmas customs began. The tour suits older children, teens and adults who enjoy history and stories; younger kids may find the evening walk long. The first listed tour is Friday, November 20 at 6 pm, and tickets for the season's lamplight evenings are sold on the Hermitage ticketing calendar between mid-November and late December.
