Stories of the Past - Conversations for the Future

​

Discover the largest house built in Tennessee prior to the Civil War. Constructed between 1850 and 1860, Belmont Mansion was the home of Adelicia and Joseph Acklen.

​

Visiting here is an opportunity to explore one of the few 1850s era homes still standing in Nashville while learning about the place and the people -- both free and enslaved -- who make this site worth understanding.

​

A majority of rooms in Belmont Mansion have been meticulously restored,

complete with original and period furniture, artwork and statuary.

The architecture of Belmont Mansion makes it one of the most significant homes of 19th century Tennessee.

​

Sold by the Acklen family in 1887, the house went to a developer who began one of Nashville’s early suburbs.

It was then purchased by two women who in 1890 started a college which evolved into Belmont University. Today the Belmont Mansion Association, which was formed in 1972, owns the collection, runs the museum, and shares this unique story of 19th century Nashville with visitors from far and near.
