Originally designed in the 1920s by Florence Sloane, the gardens of the Hermitage feature trees that have been growing for nearly a century. Some of the oldest and most notable trees include our magnificent Live Oaks and the iconic Southern Magnolia on the back lawn, which dates back to the early 1940s.

Don’t miss this opportunity to view these historical trees amid their vibrant fall transition. Experience the unique remarkable trees during this guided walking tour hosted by Phillip Riske, Curator of Gardens and Grounds.
