Nashville Facts:

Nashville was founded on Christmas Eve 1779 along the banks of the Cumberland River. Two teams of pioneers set forth from the Carolinas to found the new city. Upon arrival, they immediately began building Fort Nashborough. Amoung the pioneers was Rachel Donelson, daughter of Captain John Donelson, who would later become the wife of President Andrew Jackson.

BELLE MEADE PLANTATION

NASHVILLE - Belle Meade, meaning "beautiful meadow," was founded in 1807 by John Harding. What started as a log cabin and 250 acres grew into a beautiful Greek Revival Mansion and one of the largest thoroughbred horse farms in the South covering 5400 acres.

Today, visitors can explore the remaining 30 acres and still find a variety of areas to explore. For example, the original cabin from 1807 is still on site today. a massive Carriage House and Stables, built in 1892, houses one of the most impressive carriage collections to be found. Walking into the beautifully restores slave cabin will give any visitor a sense of another time and place.
