Event Details

The grounds of the Hermitage, will once again provide the beautiful setting for an inspiring display of one thousand U.S. flags as the Exchange Club of Donelson-Hermitage joins with the Hermitage Presidential Site to host their 3rd Annual Field of Honor® event. Building on two highly successful events, this year’s display of the Stars and Stripes honors veterans who through their service and sacrifice have given added meaning to the flag that they have carried in defense of our nation.
Flags may be sponsored for $30, and the sponsors will retain the flags at the close of the event to be displayed in surrounding communities as mementos of the Hermitage Field of Honor display. The funds raised through the Field of Honor® flag display will benefit The Family Center working to “empower parents to raise happy, healthy children.”
The panorama of red, white and blue is hard to describe, but once experienced it is not to be forgotten. This is especially true as the flags fly on the beautiful grounds of Andrew Jackson’s stately home. There will be no charge to visit the Field of Honor® display, and all are invited to walk with us through the ordered rows of flags. This is an event not to be missed.
