Nashville - antebellum mansions and civil war sites

Expert: Jan Duke - 4/25/2009

Question
Is there a specific tour (or tours) to selected sites or would you need to hire a car? How far are these sites from a downtown hotel in Nashville?

Answer
Hi,
There are some homes located right in Nashville (Davidson County) but none are located in the downtown area and the rest are mostly within an hours drive of Nashville.

I've listed a link below to a few of the local tour companies and I would also check with some of the historic homes to see which company, if any that they recommend and/or use.

Personally, I like touring these homes by car as you can take your time and work off of your own schedule.
