He became a hero who, in 1828, was elected 7 th President of the United States. The Hermitage was the property of Jackson from 1804. He finally withdrew at the end of his duties in 1837. The site consists of a house of maître maître, gradually built between 1804 and 1836, of several barracks reserved for slaves (more than 150 were simultaneously employed on the site) and 445 hectares of land.
