"For the history lover"
My family visited the Hermitage a year ago and took part in the tour. There is an indoor museum that is a self-guided audio tour including artifacts from the Jackson family. The actual estate is led by characters dressed in period costume. We found the tour guides to be well versed and informative about President Jackson. It was a surprisingly cold day in Nashville so we didn't spend a lot of time outdoors exploring the grounds. However, if the weather permitted, we would have loved to spend more time in the garden area and cemetery.

"Worth the Time"
I have visited the Hermitage several times. It's a nice self-guided tour for history buffs. I do not recommend this for small children. Small children are not old enough to really grasp the history and appreciate everything that they may see. I fear that they would become bored. There is a cemetery across the street as well.
