The Hermitage Gala

Join us for the annual Hermitage Gala

While we are not able to see each other in person for this year’s Hermitage Gala, we are able to meet online and still support the Andrew Jackson Foundation’s mission. 

Join us for an online auction, October 19-28, for your chance to celebrate the home of the 7th president by bidding on more than 30 items, thanks to the generosity of our trustees and sponsors.

From an exclusive dinner on the back porch of the Mansion and a once-in-a-lifetime New York City experience with artist Michael Shane Neal to a private vineyard outing and gift boxes for all ages, we have curated a list of items that everyone will love! All proceeds benefit the Andrew Jackson Foundation’s education and public programming, as well as assist the presidential home with its ongoing preservation and restoration projects.

Thank you for your continued support. We extend our heartfelt wishes for good health and the well-being of our community. We hope you will join us in October 2021 for an unforgettable evening that supports the vital mission of the Andrew Jackson Foundation.

The annual Hermitage Gala is a black-tie event held every fall that benefits the Andrew Jackson Foundation’s education and public programming, as well as assists the presidential home with its ongoing preservation and restoration projects. Also included is the presentation of the prestigious Lewis R. Donelson Award as well as the Jackson Award. The Lewis R. Donelson Award, named after the great-grandson of Andrew Jackson Donelson and longtime supporter of The Hermitage, is awarded to a leader who has supported The Hermitage and its preservation efforts or has brought honor and recognition to President Andrew Jackson, his era and his legacy. The Jackson Award, named for our seventh president, Andrew Jackson, is presented to recognize those whose leadership and courageous convictions enhanced the lives of Tennesseans and brought benefit and honor to the body politic.
