In the historic district of Murfreesboro stands Oaklands Mansion, a National Register-listed site, in the country Italianate style, that was one of the finest homes in antebellum Murfreesboro. The museum tells the story of its occupation during the Civil War by both Confederate and Union troops, the history of the four families that made the mansion their home until 1954, and community-based preservation efforts that saved and restored it to its 19th-century elegance. You are invited to experience Oaklands Mansion and its grounds which include walking trails, wetlands and a native tree arboretum.
