Belmont Mansion

Belmont Mansion is an Italian villa constructed between the years 1850 and 1853. Through the years, it has been the summer home for wealthy Adelicia and Jospeh Acklen and their family, temporary headquarters of the Union army, and a women's college. One of the most elaborate antebellum homes in the South, the entire Belmont estate was built, furnished, and landscaped by the Acklens and boasted such luxuries as lavish gardens, an art gallery, a bowling alley, and a zoo.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1971, Belmont Mansion currently operates as a house museum, maintained by the Belmont Mansion Association through admissions, venue rentals, event fundraisers and individual and company donations.
