The Hermitage Museum and Gardens, formerly home to the Sloane family, is an early 20 th century Arts-and-Crafts estate on the shore of the Lafayette River . Featuring a nationally recognized art collection spanning 5,000 years, the Hermitage is Home to the Arts . Contemporary exhibition galleries, a Visual Arts School , working artist studios, and 12 acres of gardens and grounds offer art and culture to the community, as envisioned by the Sloanes.

Major Exhibits:
5,000 years of art harmoniously blends with the hand carved oak, walnut and teak interior of the galleries. Among the over 2,800 objects in the Sloane Collection are a Neolithic jade cong , ancient Chinese ceremonial bronzes and mingqi (tomb figures), Indian Chola bronze statues, Spanish religious icons and furniture, European ceramics and paintings, hand painted glass windows from Germany , and American paintings and sculptures.
