You are invited to usher in the holiday season with a special Christmastime tour of homes presented by the Halliburton Family on Saturday, December 14TH, 2024 from 4:00PM until 8:00PM. This special holiday tradition will take you through Murfreesboro’s East Main Street Historic District, to some historic homes on adjoining streets and then to Oaklands Mansion. Oaklands Mansion will be dressed in all its holiday splendor. The Middle Tennessee State University Raider Express will make the rounds at no charge to our guests. You are also welcome to drive yourself and park on the street sides following all City of Murfreesboro parking regulations. Free parking is also available at Oaklands Mansion and Oaklands Park. The Visitors Center lot is designated for our guests with ADA needs. The City of Murfreesboro no longer allows parking on the grass at Oaklands Mansion or Oaklands Park.
Murfreesboro Little Theatre members will be found throughout the mansion sharing short stories and special tidbits of information about the historic structure. Oaklands staff and board members will also be present to greet you and further discuss this nationally registered historic site and its impact on our community.
Santa will greet guests of all ages in the front parlor for photographs. Elaine Winters and Rob Pearcy from The Home Sweet Home Band will play Christmas standards and old holiday favorites. Oaklands Museum Shop will be open for unique holiday shopping.
Food trucks will be parked at Oaklands Mansion as well as a self-serve smores bar (weather permitting). This event will take place despite rain in our forecast. We recommend that you bring an umbrella to use from your car to the front doors.
Christmas face painting will be available for kids of all ages in Maney Hall. Give a Little Christmas will also have a table set up where guests can bring toy donations or sign up to sponsor a family. They are a group of artists for community transformation who help spread Christmas magic by providing gifts for kids. They focus on families with last minute emergencies and temporary setbacks.
Admission is $30.00 per adult and $10.00 per student ages 6-12. The evening is free for ages 5 and under. Please purchase admission online or in the museum shop by 4:00PM Friday, December 13th
