President Jackson and his wife Rachel are buried in the garden on the grounds of his mansion, The Hermitage.
Before Jackson was President, he was a military general. His most important victory was the Battle of New Orleans from the War of 1812. To commemorate this event, every year on January 8, the Tennessee National Guard lays a wreath at his grave site.
