Belle Meade Journey to Jubilee Guided Tour

The Journey to Jubilee tour offers a thoughtful and honest look at Belle Meade’s history through the voices and experiences of the African Americans who lived and worked on the property from 1807 through emancipation and into the post Civil War era. Guided by interpreters trained in respectful and empathetic storytelling, the tour uses primary source readings and open dialogue to explore the realities of slavery and the complexities of freedom that followed.

This experience invites reflection, learning, and connection as you move through the grounds and historic spaces where these individuals lived out their daily lives. After the tour, guests are invited to enjoy a complimentary wine tasting and explore the property on a self guided walk. It is a powerful and meaningful way to understand the deeper history of Belle Meade.
