Belle Meade plantation has stolen my heart! I became acquainted with this particular mansion through reading a wonderful series based on the civil war history here. Then, walking the grounds and following the tour inside (where photos were not allowed- much to my dismay) sealed the deal.
For a nominal fee the kids were provided a backpack full of books, art supplies and keys to find hidden treasure boxes around the property. Each box contained a different task and insight to the history. They even made a slave's rag doll at one and played with old fashioned toys in another. They loved it!
There was also a book signing of the above mentioned book series.
Tamera Alexander. (<<< click her name to go to her site) I highly recommend her books. They are clean Christian reads with beautiful romance and captivating history. Meeting her was an absolute treat and she joyfully signed all 6 of my books.
It was a perfect day, with perfect weather and the kids were super stars!
