Path of Glory

In 2026, Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage joins the nation in commemorating the 250th anniversary of America’s founding with the striking Path of Glory installation, featuring 1,776 full-size U.S. flags displayed across the presidential site through July 15. This meaningful tribute invites individuals and groups to purchase a flag in honor of themselves or a loved one, with each flag returned to its honoree after the installation concludes. Throughout the exhibition, guests can also explore a companion display examining the evolution of the American flag alongside the nation’s growth during Andrew Jackson’s lifetime.

A special Path of Glory Dedication Ceremony takes place on May 22 from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m., featuring keynote remarks from Bill Lee. The outdoor ceremony is included with general admission, and guests are encouraged to RSVP in advance via email. The installation is open daily from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. thehermitage.com
