Overview

Embark on a 1-hour journey into Belle Meade with its Journey to Jubilee historic tour. Join us as we take an honest look at the lives and stories of the African Americans who were enslaved, and later employed, at Belle Meade with intentional respect and empathy. Our Journey to Jubilee tour is intended to honor the legacy and sacrifices of the individuals held in legal bondage on this property from 1807 until emancipation in 1865, as well as to explore the complexities of their new freedom in the post-Civil War years. Using a unique approach that includes reading aloud from primary sources, and engaging dialogue with the audience, this experience creates a forum for exploring the history of slavery in a new way. Enjoy a complimentary Wine Tasting after your tour and access to the Grounds for a self-guided tour. Please Note: This tour is guided, but it does not include access to the main Mansion portion of the estate. Please book your Guided Mansion Tours separately.

Learning about how former slaves lived be Ed after emancipation. The wine tasting at the end was nice

Thought provoking

Published on Oct, 2024

All of it. The Mansion especially. The slave cabin replica. Why do you require a lot of words? Let us be who we are.

Thoughtful

He made me think. He had an interesting way of presenting the material with a thought provoking set up calling for responses to a statement or a question and then the answer.
