Andrew Jackson's Crib

Every year our Homeschool Tutorial takes part in Junior Docent Day at The Hermitage...home of President Andrew Jackson.



The grounds are gorgeous.

If it weren't for the roaring highway in the distance, a person could walk around and envision what it must have been like to live there.



This was Aidan's first year to be eligible to participate in the program and he was super excited about this opportunity.



He worked hard to memorize his lines and was able to tell guests from all over the world {some from as far as Russia} about Alfred's Cabin.

Alfred was born on the plantation as a slave and died there a free man that chose to stay on as a personal servant to the Jackson family. He requested to be buried in the garden near Mr. and Mrs. Jackson...and so he was.

So interesting.



This was Maggie's second year participating in the program.

The girl is in all her glory here.

She simply loves it.



She was able to talk with people from all over the world as well and tell them about the rows of cedar trees that lined the driveway...how they were destroyed in the tornado of 1998 and had to be replanted.



We were so proud of our group and received multiple compliments on how well they did as Junior Docents for the day.

Maggie and Aidan are already looking forward to next year.
