3. Belle Meade Plantation

BELLE MEADE.   This elegant antebellum mansion rests on 30 acres of land just south of Nashville, and its columns still bear bullet scars from the Civil War. In earlier days, Belle Meade was one of North America's largest thoroughbred breeding farms. The plantation includes eight listed buildings, including the original dwelling, Dunham Station's cabin, which dates from 1790. The Victorian-style manor home, completed in 1853, is now a museum dedicated to preserving the Harding family's rich legacy. Every year, Belle Meade hosts the Iroquois Steeplechase.   (© 10Best)

Named after its surroundings, this “beautiful meadow” was once home to the Harding family and the famous horses that lived on what was once a 5,400-acre farm. (from Southern Living)
