Free Grounds passes at The Hermitage this Sunday –Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage will host its annual Battle of New Orleans Commemoration from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 8, 2023 with a keynote address from a former Marine Officer and recently retired Nashville attorney, as well as a line-up of activities for the family. Grounds Passes to the site will be free to the public with the wreath-laying ceremony at 1 p.m.



Activities include:

Children’s crafts and games from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Battle of New Orleans gallery talks with the Director of Interpretation at 10 a.m., noon and 3 p.m.
A reading from Jackson’s orders to rally the 2nd Division of the State of Tennessee will take place at noon from the balcony of The Hermitage mansion.
The annual wreath-laying ceremony with keynote speaker Robert D. Tuke and the presentation of colors with the Tennessee National Guard and Tennessee Society United States Daughters of 1812 at 1 p.m. Tuke, who served as an active duty Marine Officer from 1969 to 1973, recently retired from his law firm Trauger & Tuke, as well as from serving as an adjunct professor at Vanderbilt University School of Law. Following the brief program, wreaths will be laid on the tomb to honor both General Jackson and his wife, Rachel.
Exclusive event for Hermitage members with the Vice President of Collections, featuring New Orleans-related artifacts from The Hermitage collection at 2:30 p.m.


“This is one of my favorite days at The Hermitage,” said Howard J. Kittell, president and CEO of the Andrew Jackson Foundation. “This event commemorates a crucial victory for our nation in a conflict with Great Britain. General Andrew Jackson led a ragtag army of U.S. servicemembers, volunteer militia, free blacks, Native Americans and even a band of pirates to defend New Orleans in an invasion. The battle only lasted about 30 minutes but resulted in more than 2,000 British casualties. Jackson became an American hero, and national pride was at an all-time high. We look forward to commemorating that victory with a fun day filled with events that young and old will not only enjoy but learn from, including the annual wreath-laying ceremony at Jackson’s tomb.

Congratulations to Mary Hance known as Ms. Cheap. Larry Woods and I are so grateful for all that she does for our community. She has made such a difference to so many.
Ms Cheap, will you be making a list of free/ cheap but also socially distanced activities for the holidays? I'm struggling to plan.
The picture that appears in today's CA - Small Town Wonders - looks reversed. Bristol is in the far east part of TN, Dickson is west of Nashville, etc. Yet the writing on the mail truck looks ok.
Hi- my neighborhood is having a community yard sale if you can share with your people! Banbury Crossings neighborhood off of Edmondson Pikein Brentwood on Saturday
September is "Meet the Arabian Horse" month...come to the Wilson County Fairgrounds September 26 & 27 for the Music City Arabian Horse Show! LOTS of Arabian horses there all weekend. Show starts at 9 am Sat and Sunday....this is also a gypsy Vanner/Gypsy show and has open breed classes too! Spectators are welcome! No admission fee! Very much FAMILY FRIENDLY! pm OR TEXT 615-495-7346 IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS
Mary, Cissy here. Thanks for the column about take-out family meals. Add P.F. Chang's dinner for two for $32. Choice of chicken or veggie lettuce wraps, choice of three or four soups, choice of a rice or noodle dish, and choice from a list of several entrees. I've forgotten what the charge for four people. I may have been double the $32.
Wanted to let you know of a locally owned restaurant offering family pack meals, Unique Flavors Cafe in Crieve Hall. They have a couple of options available daily M-F, plus their regular menu of sandwiches and baked goods. Support local
businesses!! Dairy King in Woodbine is also open for business!!
Can you write an article about all the places offering free or discounted items to medical staff and first responders? I think it would be beneficial for those essential workers as well as give the rest of us an idea on when and how we should spend our money with these generous companies later.....
Is there a place to donate old eyeglasses
Ms. Cheap - I first learned about Smart Art and Craft Supplies from your column several years ago. Smart has become my favorite store in Nashville! Smart is in danger of closing this summer if profits don’t increase. Can you help promote them please?!?!?
I have a question would you know of a place that sells the old wind up swings?
Thanks for telling us about Family Day at Fort Negley!
