They also highlight the slave cabins at Rowan Oak, even though the home's historical attraction is ostensibly more modern--as the home William Faulkner lived in from 1930-1962--but the house dates from the 1840s, and I appreciated that they didn't ignore that aspect of the history.When I visited the Hermitage, I recall that the exhibit hall showcases Jackson's treatment of African Americans and Native Americans in
an objective manner. Come to think of it, a lot of historic homes owned by iconic American figures (e.g., Monticello) have treated these subjects with the attention they deserve.
