The brick house now used as a museum, which was restored and built on the original foundation, was formerly used for house servants. This is the only piece of restoration on the grounds, the brick having been made on the Hermitage grounds years ago. THE MUSEUM [Illustration: The Museum] SOUTH ROOM On the Walls: 1. Lace veil intended for Mrs. Rachel Jackson to wear at Jackson’s inauguration in 1829, but her death occurred shortly before. The veil was presented by the ladies of Cincinnati. Each letter in the name Jackson is made from a different pattern of lace. The twenty-four stars above the name represent the 24 states, and in the center is an emblem of peace.
