Oaklands Mansion: 900 N. Maney Ave.

Sallie Murfree Maney inherited this land from her father, Colonel Hardy Murfree, for whom the town is named. She and her husband, Dr. James Maney, raised their family here and managed the growing plantation. Enslaved women worked both in the fields and in the house. In the late 1850s, Rachel Adeline Cannon Maney and husband, Lewis Maney, initiated renovations to the house with an Italianate façade. In 1959, local women formed Oaklands Association and restored the house, now on the National Register, into a historic site. The museum’s annual wedding dress exhibit is an eagerly awaited winter event.
