The Oaks, Historic plantation residence in Tuscumbia, Alabama, US.

The Oaks is a historic residence near Tuscumbia, Alabama, consisting of a 1+1⁄2-story log house covered with weatherboards and a two-story main house completed in 1832. The log house has exterior chimneys at each gable end and a shed-roofed rear porch. A one-story gabled hall with two exterior doors connects it to the main house, whose five-bay front has a central portico with two square columns and a deck above.

Abraham Ricks came from Halifax, North Carolina in the early 1820s and bought land near Tuscumbia, worked by enslaved people he had brought with him. A log house already stood there from about 1818; Ricks added the larger connected house, finished in 1832. The family kept the property until 1966, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.

The Oaks is a private residence, so its interior is not open to visitors; the house can only be seen from outside. The name comes from the oak trees on the plantation, and the property is also known as the Abraham Ricks Plantation. The house stayed in the Ricks family until 1966.

This is a private residence and can only be viewed from the outside. It is located southeast of Tuscumbia near State Route 157 on Ricks Lane in Colbert County.

The property combines two distinct construction phases: a 1.5-story log structure with chimneys at each gable end was later connected to the Georgian main house. This arrangement shows how the family modernized over time while preserving the original building.
