Southern Plantations

What is a trip to the South without visiting a couple of plantations? We were able to visit 2. The first one was The Belle Meade. It was a working plantation in the 1800's and eventually became famous for breeding and raising race horses. The second one was The Hermitage. It was Andrew Jackson's home.
