Why you should go…

Belle Meade began in 1807 when John Harding bought a log cabin and 250 acres on the Natchez Trace, and it grew into a plantation renowned for breeding thoroughbred horses. You can tour the 1853 Greek Revival mansion with its limestone columns, walk 30 acres with historic outbuildings, and take the Journey to Jubilee tour on the lives of enslaved people. The site also has a winery with tastings.
