History

Antebellum plantation in Nashville covering Tennessee thoroughbred horse culture, plantation economy, and the lives of enslaved people on the property.

What families say
The mansion tour gets consistently strong marks for engaging, knowledgeable guides who bring the history to life through detailed storytelling about the family and property. Plan for a leisurely half-day or more, since there's a lot to roam—historic buildings, well-kept grounds, and extras like a candy counter and ice cream café that kids are likely to enjoy. The winery and tasting experiences are adult-focused perks, but the overall site feels relaxed and unhurried, which works well for families who want room to explore at their own pace.
