The Hermitage maintains a herd of Belted Galloways on the Farm.

I very much enjoyed the opportunity to tour the Hermitage. It is a beautiful farm with a rich history. Old Hickory as President Jackson was called purchased the 425 acre farm for $3,400 in the early 1800's! That's certainly hard to imagine with the current land prices in the greater Nashville area!
