Visit Belmont Mansion
We invite you to explore the largest house built in Tennessee prior to the Civil War. Constructed between 1849 and 1860, Belmont Mansion was the home of Adelicia and Joseph Acklen.
Visiting here is a unique opportunity to explore one of the few 1850s era homes still standing in Nashville while learning about all the people - both free and enslaved - whose stories make this site worth understanding.
​
General admission tickets allow guests to tour at their own pace after an introduction from a tour guide in the Grand Salon. Signage in each room tells the story of the site and the residents. Tour guides stationed throughout the house are available for questions and additional information. Average tour is 45 minutes to an hour.
​
COVID-19 Update - Safety First
To create a safe environment, all guests and staff are required to wear a face covering due to Order 8 of the Chief Medical Director of Health for Metropolitan Nashville Davidson County.
Additionally Belmont Mansion staff follow a rigorous schedule of hourly cleaning and daily health screenings. We regularly check the CDC website for guidance to support the safety of both staff and visitors.
We welcome you to Belmont Mansion and ask that you partner with us in creating a safe museum for all.
