Daylillies

Hi Sisters!
I have dug up several (I think about 8) Stella d'Oro daylillies from my yard. They were huge and needed dividing, etc. and I don't have room for them. They are sitting here -- wanting a new home. If you are interested in them you may have them!
Contact me at carolyn.paine8@gmail.com if you are interested in them.

Fun family outing

Battle of New Orleans Commemoration (FREE ADMISSION All DAY)
Saturday, January 8, 2011

Program begins at 10am in front of the Hermitage mansion



On January 8, 1815, Major General Andrew Jackson led a small, poorly-equipped army to victory against eight thousand British troops at the Battle of New Orleans. The victory made Jackson a national hero and eventually propelled him to White House, making him our nation's seventh president.


The anniversary of the Battle of New Orleans was widely celebrated with parties and dances during the nineteenth century, especially in the South. An 1860 New York Times article, published January 10, describes a typical celebration for the day:


"The Tammany Society or Colombian Order celebrated last night the Anniversary of the Battle of New-Orleans. The commemoration lacked neither in numbers nor dignity...The ceiling was canopied in the national colors, with striking effect. On the floor crowds of dancers assembled, and continued their pleasures without intermission until a few minutes before 12 o'clock."

Come to The Hermitage this Saturday, January 8th, to relive a time-honored tradition and to celebrate the 196th anniversary of the Battle of New Orleans with FREE admission all day!


The traditional wreath-laying ceremony will begin at 10:00 a.m. with the Tennessee Army National Guard Color Guard at the tomb of President Andrew Jackson. The ceremony will also feature a keynote speech from Nashville Mayor and recently named "Tennessean of the Year," Karl Dean, and a presentation by the Daughters of 1812.


Special additions to this year's commemoration will be the introduction of a new biography of Rachel Donelson Jackson. Titled A Being So Gentle, the volume's author Patricia Brady will conduct a lecture and discussion at 1:00 p.m. that will be followed by a book signing. The book will be available for purchase in the Hermitage Museum Store.
