Hearts and Hands Steps into the lives of Jackson and his family with a lively tour of the Hermitage mansion. Exploring Jackson's beautiful home, you'll experience the joys and trials of this courageous man and feel the gentleness he held for his beloved wife Rachel. Then you'll join us in the classroom to recreate a beautiful heart-shaped pincushion replicated from pincushions made by Jackson's granddaughter, Rachel Jackson Lawrence. Little Rachel, as she was known, used scraps of Jackson family clothing to make these simple gifts as precious mementos for family and friends. After your craft class, enjoy a light lunch and relaxing conversation.
