Oaklands (National Register): 900 North Maney Avenue

From 1815 to the late 1850s, Oaklands was built in four distinct phases for the Maney family by their enslaved workforce. After the Civil War, the Maneys sold the mansion to cover debts, and several other families lived here until the house was left vacant. By the 1950s the derelict mansion was scheduled for demolition. Determined local women restored and transformed it into a house museum that serves the community as a popular heritage tourism destination.
