| Item Description: | The Hermitage, near Nashville, Tennessee. Erected in 1823, across the Lebanon Road from the Hermitage Lane, this church is open to the public. General Jackson, to please his devoutly religious wife, was the largest contributor to the building fund and always referred to it as "Mrs. Jackson's Church." In his later years he was a faithful member, frequently arriving before the service with his man servant to see that the fires were properly made. Two log fireplaces were used for heat, homemade brick for flooring, and candles for light |
