Belle Meade Plantation Tour: Nashville's Historic Thoroughbred Estate

A Thoroughbred Legend in the Hills of Nashville

Tucked into the rolling hills of west Nashville, Belle Meade Plantation is one of Middle Tennessee's most important historic estates. Founded in the early 1800s and expanded into one of a leading thoroughbred nurseries in the United States, Belle Meade produced bloodlines that still run through the Kentucky Derby winner's circle today. A tour of the 1853 Greek Revival mansion, the outbuildings, and the grounds is a signature Nashville history experience.

YAZ Limousine is a transportation provider for guests visiting Belle Meade Plantation. Here is how to make the most of your tour — and the chauffeured arrival that matches the estate's grandeur.

The Mansion Tour

The centerpiece of Belle Meade is the 1853 Greek Revival mansion, restored and interpreted to tell the story of the families who lived and worked on the property — including the enslaved African Americans whose labor built the thoroughbred operation. Guided mansion tours walk you through the elegantly furnished rooms and the complex history of a working plantation.

The Grounds and Outbuildings

Beyond the mansion, the grounds hold the original slave cabins, a massive stone dairy, the carriage house, and the stable that once housed some of the most valuable horses in America. The property's interpretive signage and exhibits tell the full story of the estate, from its founding through the Civil War and into its decline and preservation.
