We are also planning a seperate road trip starting from Texas to Nashville, TN. with a teenager! What are the best places to visit in and around Nashville? I heard Hendersonville is nice too? How far is it from Nashville? Where to eat and what to do while there other than Grand Ole Opry and General Jackson River Boat cruise we already know we are doing those?
Thank you for any help or suggestions for this trip too1

If you want to stop in Memphis, TN for BBQ I suggest you go to Cozy Corner BBQ due to it's location close to I 40. Right after your cross the Mississippi River get off I 40 at Exit 1B and go N on N Danny Thomas Blvd. Go about 2 blocks and you will pass St. Jude Children's Hospital then take a right on N. Parkway. Go 2 blocks to Cozy Corner for outstanding BBQ. When you leave CC head E to N Manasas and take your left. Go a block and take a right on Jackson Ave. then go about half a mile to I 240. Go under the IS and take a left going N and get on I 240 or I40 and go N. Go about 15 miles on I 240. You will turn E and then S before you reach Exit 12C then take I 40 E 200 miles to Nashville, TN.

Go to Belle Meade in the morning and then go 5 minutes down the road to Cheekwood. It isn't antebellum, but it is a beautiful mansion with a museum and fabulous gardens. Both BM & CW have restaurants.
Go to Franklin and see Carnton. Hit the town of Franklin for lunch, and if you're still interested in Civil War history, take the Carter House tour. It's not a plantation but it was in the center of the Battle of Franklin and offers a good tour.
