Description:

Step back to the 1850s and admire one of the best kept plantations in the US. Once the centerpiece of a 5,400-acre plantation, Belle Meade mansion is now a fine example of what a Victorian-era estate used to be like.

Head to Belle Meade Plantation and learn all about its rich history. Nowadays, this magnificent plantation is a 30-acre historic site that features guided tours of its 1853 Greek Revival mansion. Join an expert and costumed guide for your tour of the property and begin your journey to the past.

This 45-minute tour recounts stories about the famous inhabitants who lived here for 4 generations—the Harding and Jackson families. Learn how they turned what was once just a log cabin into one of the finest world-renowned thoroughbred stud farms of the 19th century.

Don't miss out on the rest of the outbuildings of this spectacular plantation, including the 1890s carriage house and the original 1790s log cabin, before you head back to your hotel.
