The Hermitage Enslaved: A Wagon Tour

Powered by draft horses and driven by an experienced guide, this 30 minute horse-drawn wagon tour takes you back in time as you travel beyond the mansion and into the fields where your guide will showcase the daily lives of Jackson’s enslaved men, women and children. You will hear about how those lives were intertwined not only with the various archaeological sites you will see along the way but also how their lives were closely intertwined with the Jacksons.

This tour offers a glimpse of The Hermitage enslaved community from a truly unique perspective.
