Belle Meade Mansion is a very interesting place to visit if you like late 19th century mansions and want to see how the other half lived.\u00a0 What set\u2019s this house apart is that unlike nearby mansions where they grew crops like cotton, this was a house with a major horse farm, where people would come from miles away to appraise and buy horses.\u00a0 And of course one of the things you do when you are horse people is you show off your horse flesh by riding around in fancy carriages, so we will visit the carriage house in our next post.\u00a0 You may well ask, why the focus on outside buildings?\u00a0 Well because the local Hysterical\u00a0 Society will not allow indoor pictures in such historic houses (including the Hermitage too) because they haven\u2019t managed to get into the modern era where digital cameras without flash can\u2019t possibly harm anything.\u00a0 But they will say\u2014 \u2018but if we allow everyone to take some shots, it will slow down the tours, and we need to rush people through these houses, especially during high season\u2019.\u00a0 Sigh\u2026..\u00a0 This is Historical Societies behaving badly, especially when nice pictures posted on the internet will just increase their trade and revenues. But I digress.<\/p>\n
