Welcome to Belle Meade Plantation

Admission Fees / Hours / Directions

Belle Meade Plantation is a 30 acre historic site 6 miles west of Nashville.  The centerpiece of the property is the Belle Meade mansion built in 1853.  This Greek revival house was home to five generations of the Harding-Jackson family, original owners of the Belle Meade Farm.  In the late 19th century, the farm encompassed 5,400 acres and was one of the largest private estates in Nashville.  The farm was a thoroughbred nursery famous for breeding and training championship race horses.  Recent Kentucky derby winners like Funny Cide and Barbarro, even racing legends like Secretariat can trace their bloodlines back to the breeding stock at Belle Meade.
