Journey to Jubilee Tour

Our Journey to Jubilee Tour dives deeper into the experiences of Black Americans before and after emancipation. Journey focuses on the history of enslavement and contract labor not only at Belle Meade but across the American South. 

We aim to honor those who were enslaved, formerly enslaved, and contract laborers by telling their stories. Through research, our aim is to hold space and honor those whose stories have been forgotten. Using primary and secondary sources, this crucial history is explored.

The history of Belle Meade is covered in two tours. The Mansion Tour tells the century-long history of Belle Meade through the stories and experiences of the Harding and Jackson families, as well as the women, men, and children who labored here. The Journey to Jubilee Tour invites discussion and explores the stories of the enslaved African-Americans who were brought to, and born at, Belle Meade from 1807 through the years following Emancipation.

From the complimentary wine tastings to our on-site shopping loved by the locals, Belle Meade provides many activities for guests to be immersed in Tennessee history and hospitality.
