Top off your tour this morning with a tour of Barbara Mandrell’s Fontanel Mansion. Throughout the house, you will find a unique style that blends country rustic with gilded, over-the-top luxury. In addition to Mandrell family keepsakes, the current owners’ collection of country memorabilia is on display: browse one-of-a-kind mementoes from music stars. After our visit we will return home, taking with us some of the best Nashville has to offer. (B)
