Oakland Plantation, Historic plantation in North Carolina, United States
The plantation complex includes multiple structures such as the main house, kitchen, dairy, smokehouse, and two separate cemeteries for family and enslaved people.
Dating from 1780, Oakland Plantation evolved from its origins as Youghal Plantation, named after an Irish town, into a significant agricultural enterprise in North Carolina.
The windows of the main house contain etchings from past visitors, including an 1773 inscription by a messenger of John Wesley reading 'Exalt we O our God'.
The plantation structures demonstrate the agricultural practices of the era through specialized buildings designed for food preparation, storage, and crop processing.
The property features original architectural elements including crushed shell and sand fireplaces alongside mahogany floors from its initial construction period.
