Belle Meade was a great trip especially to take a step back in time and to see the style of living. The buildings are spread across the plantation and fun.

Many of the furniture pieces are not original... more

My wife and I went to the Plantation last week on Friday 5-18 and we were not impressed. The house is not in great shape, our tour guide was pretty much horrible, and not much original items left.
