this plantation is beautiful with a lot of history. This was a renowned Thoroughbred horse farm. This is another plantation where you can not take pictures inside the mansion. It is an open concept tour nothing behind glass, you can walk into the rooms on the ground floor. This one now has A/C installed so inside the mansion is very... more

Belle Meade is a nice option for those looking for an outing that won't take the whole day, is reasonably priced, and has some historic significance. Your $15 admission fee includes a 45 minute tour of the mansion (given by a tour guide in period costume) and allows you access to explore the rest of the grounds. Inside the home... more
