Visit The Hermitage and celebrate the 194th anniversary of the American victory at the Battle of New Orleans, which ended the War of 1812, sometimes referred to as the "Second War of Independence." This victory, led by General Andrew Jackson, left no doubt of America's independence and propelled Jackson on to an incredible journey in American politics.
