1. The Education and Administration Buildings Marker

Inscription. The two buildings in front of you were not part of Andrew Jackson's Hermitage. The Works Progress Administration built the structure to the right in 1936. Today, the building holds the Administrative Offices of The Ladies' Hermitage Association, but it originally served as the Hermitage caretaker's residence. The Education Center on your left contains the classroom and offices for the Hermitage Hands-on-History program. When the building was completed in 1954, it housed the Hermitage gift shop. Neither building is open for tours.
