NASHVILLE (AP) — The 115th annual Spring Outing is this week at The Hermitage mansion in Nashville, and National Public Radio correspondent Mara Liasson is speaking at the event on Wednesday.

More than 300 people are expected for the luncheon Wednesday on the front lawn of The Hermitage, the home of President Andrew Jackson.

Liasson is the national political correspondent for NPR, focusing on the White House and Congress. She also reports on political trends outside Washington and is a political commentator for Fox News.

The Spring Outing began in the early 20th century and has turned into one of the major events at The Hermitage, regularly featuring nationally known women discussing politics and history.
