Nashville - Barbara Mandrell home


First full day in Nashville. Ladies went and visited the "Fontanel" and Barbara Mandrell's mansion. Her 26,000 square foot log home.  All the logs were from Montana..
The guys went and visited the Two River Mansion, beautiful old mansion started in the early 1800's and completed after the Civil War. The property had been owned by Andrew Jackson, but was purchased by the MacGavock family in early 1800's. The the guys toured the new Harbor Freight store.
