You are invited to usher in the holiday season with a special Christmastime tour of homes on Saturday, December 12, 2026 from 4:00PM until 8:00PM. This special holiday tradition is an important fundraising event for the preservation of Oaklands Mansion. The Candlelight Tour will take you through Murfreesboro’s East Main Street Historic District, to some historic homes on adjoining streets and then to Oaklands Mansion dressed in all its holiday splendor.
You are 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. Parking is no longer allowed on the grass at Oaklands Mansion or Oaklands Park.
The 43rd Annual Candlelight Tour of Homes will feature several historic homes, churches and Oaklands Mansion.
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.
Elaine Winters, Rob Pearcy and Amanda Shields from The Home Sweet Home Band will play Christmas standards and old holiday favorites. Oaklands Gift Shop will be open for unique holiday shopping.
Food trucks will be parked at Oaklands Mansion.
In Maney Hall, the Tennessee Valley Winds Brass Quartet will play two 45 minute sets starting at 4:00PM.
Also in Maney Hall, Mrs. Claus will share cookies and collect toy donations for Give a Little Christmas. 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. Guests may purchase admission online, or in the museum, shop by 6:00PM on Saturday, December 13th.
