The Hermitage, one of the most-visited historic homes in the country, unveiled plans for $132 million in improvements that will reshape how visitors experience the site just east of downtown Nashville.
The centerpiece is a new 70,000-square-foot visitor and education center, alongside expanded interpretive programming and restored historic spaces meant to give a fuller picture of the plantation's history, including the lives of the enslaved people who lived there.
No construction timeline has been announced, but the scale of the project signals a significant reinvestment in one of the region's marquee day-trip destinations.
