Join us at Andrew Jackson's Hermitage, located in Nashville, Tennessee, for a look at the final resting place of Andrew and Rachel Jackson.
Construction on Rachel and Andrew Jackson's Tomb began in 1831 while Andrew Jackson was in Washington, D.C. The Tomb was completed in 1832. In 1832, Andrew Jackson set aside a small portion of his garden as a family cemetery. Besides Rachel and Andrew, sixteen members of the Jackson family are buried in the cemetery. This cemetery served the family until the 1970s.
On the north side of Andrew Jackson's tomb is the grave of Albert Jackson... an enslaved worker who died in 1901. At the time this video was filmed (July 2022), the graves of the other enslaved people who labored at the Hermitage was unknown. However, in late 2024, a year-long project of research and archaeology culminated in a peer-reviewed report validating the belief that a cemetery holding the remains of an estimated 28 people who were enslaved at The Hermitage had been located. The discovery comes after decades of research into the lives of The Hermitage’s enslaved people; research that has been a priority of the Andrew Jackson Foundation since the 1980s. Through this work, archaeologists have previously uncovered the physical remnants of enslaved housing and the artifacts from everyday life they left behind, while historians researched Hermitage slave families and their stories.
