About Old Hickory Furniture Co. Inc.
In the 1800s in southern Indiana, Billy Richardson began to make hickory chairs and sell them on Saturdays on the town square in Martinsville. Legend has it that he and his father made the original Andrew Jackson hoop chairs for the president's home, the Hermitage.

Others in the Martinsville area studied Richardson's products and banded together in 1892 in an abandoned church, producing hickory sapling furniture as a full-time business. They chose Old Hickory as the company name, which was President Jackson's nickname. When the company incorporated in 1898, a full line of products was available. Shipping across the country to homes and resorts, the company began furnishing nearly all of the new national park lodges, including the Old Faithful Inn at Yellowstone National Park.

Today's Old Hickory combines designs from the company's history along with more contemporary applications for home, yet the process of hand-crafting each piece remains very much the same. Attention to detail, the careful matching of parts, the difficult assembly with mortise and tenon, and the meticulous hand-weaving process, make Old Hickory Furniture's products unique, comfortable, and durable. After 100 years, old-fashioned care continues at Old Hickory Furniture Company, the home of America's genuine, original furniture.
