American Driving Vacations
Between 1800 and 1850, the American frontier in Kentucky and Tennessee transformed into the Antebellum era proceeding the Civil War. With most of the area around Nashville spared conflict, many historic homes and structures from this era are still standing along the Tennessee Antebellum Trail and the Natchez Trace Parkway. A 5 Day/4 Night American Driving Vacation takes you past the homes near the city and ultimately into Middle Tennessee to tour some of the most outstanding structures, such as Rippavilla Plantation, Rattle and Snap and President Polk's Home that are far off the beaten path.
