About this audio guide
This guide to Belle Meade Historic Site in Nashville follows the bourbon brand that once carried this thoroughbred farm's name, after a nineteenth-century distillery paid the Harding and Jackson family for the right to use it. You will hear how the farm's champion racehorses ended up on a whiskey label, and how Tennessee's early prohibition law cut the brand off years before the rest of the country went dry. Best heard on the front lawn, near where the old deer park and horse paddocks once stood.
