The Hermitage, Andrew Jackson's plantation home outside Nashville, is the setting here, and the picture pairs it with two places tied closely to the seventh president: his tomb and the residence of Andrew J. Donelson, his nephew and adopted son. Jackson built the Hermitage in stages beginning in the 1820s, and he died there in 1845 and was buried in the garden beside his wife Rachel, who had died shortly after he took office. Donelson served as Jackson's private secretary in Washington and later helped manage the estate, so the scene links the president's household to the family members who carried on his legacy. Viewers interested in Jackson will find that the image records the grounds as they looked after his death, when the property was becoming a shrine to his memory.
