Explore Murfreesboro’s most mysterious mansion and experience some of the unusual mourning customs and creepy superstitions of the Victorian era at Oaklands Mansion. As the doors creak open to reveal the town’s spookiest historic home, guides in mourning attire will be stationed through-out the mansion to answer questions.

As you explore the dark corners and dimly lit parlors, you will find unusual and curious items.

For your safety, please bring your own flashlight.

Admission of $10 for adults and $5 for students & children.

Tickets should be pre-purchased for the night you want to attend. Purchase your tickets in advance on our website or in the gift shop. Be prepared to show proof of payment at the front doors of the mansion to avoid ticket line in the gift shop. See website for details.

>>“While in the downtown area, enjoying the fall fun, take the opportunity to see Oaklands after dark! When your flashlight tour is over, if you dare, take a walk on the dimly lit trails of the wetlands and see the dark reflections of Maney Spring” said James Manning, Executive Director of Oaklands Mansion.

For your safety, Oaklands’ main drive will be closed. Please park at Oaklands Park Picnic Pavilion at 427 Roberts Street. Then walk to the mansion to begin your tour!
