NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Visitors to The Hermitage will have a chance to view the historic home of President Andrew Jackson in a more intimate way during a series of after-hours tours in August.

The Hermitage is offering the hour-long tours to people who purchase tickets online at www.thehermitage.com.

They take place every Thursday in August beginning at 6:30 p.m., according to a news release from The Hermitage.

Each tour will have only 15 guests and will offer a behind-the-scenes look at Jackson’s Nashville home.

The Hermitage is a 1,120-acre National Historic Landmark. It is a Smithsonian Institution Affiliate Museum with some 180,000 visitors annually.
