The Andrew Jackson Foundation recently announced a new $132 million plan to modernize visitor facilities and infrastructure while returning the landscape around the Mansion to the appearance of its agricultural past.

As part of this work, a new operations facility outside the historic area allowed several outdated buildings to be removed. Built between 1930 and 1941, the Maintenance Building, Pump House, and East Field Barn were demolished, while the wings of the Storage Barn were removed, leaving its original brick core intact for adaptive reuse. All four buildings were documented before the work began to preserve their history.

A special thank-you to Patriot Demolition Services LLC for helping us take this important first step.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Phil Ponder, a beloved friend and longtime supporter of The Hermitage.

A celebrated Nashville artist, civic leader and community advocate, Phil was known for his detailed watercolors of Middle Tennesseeโ€™s landmarks and architecture, as well as his decades of service to the community he loved.

Phil served on the Andrew Jackson Foundation's Board of Trustees from 2004 to 2012. His connection to The Hermitage lives on through the many works of art he created for us over the years.

This piece dates to 1991. His artwork has appeared on Hermitage gala invitations and many other event materials throughout the years.

We are grateful for Philโ€™s friendship, service and lasting contributions to The Hermitage and our community.
His work will remain part of The Hermitageโ€™s story for generations to come.

Our deepest sympathies are with Philโ€™s family, friends and loved ones.
