Belmont Mansion Tours

Belmont Mansion offers Nashville visitors the chance to experience an antebellum-era home, complete with antique furnishings and period details. Uncover Belmont’s history and learn about its owner, Adelicia Acklen—one of the wealthiest and most successful women in 19th-century Tennessee.
The Basics
Built in the mid-1800s, Belmont Mansion served as the summer home for socialite Adelicia Acklen, a college and seminary, and a temporary army headquarters. Most visitors join a historian-guided tour of the mansion to learn more about Acklen’s life and the troubled history of the antebellum South; a self-guided audio tour is also available. To save time at the entrance, buy your admission ticket online in advance.
