Caption: The Hermitage Overseer additional nearby marker
Additional Description:
Well
Little is known about this stone-lined well. It may mark the general location of the plantation overseer's house and yard, or it may have been constructed after the Jackson family sold this part of the Hermitage property in 1856. Eventually, archaeological excavation of the well and the surrounding area may provide evidence about its construction and use.
