Stately Oaks

Stately Oaks Plantation features a central mansion with a separate log kitchen, well house, tenant house, 1896 country store, and one-room schoolhouse on its grounds.

The Greek Revival and Georgian style mansion, constructed in 1839, earned its place on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 as a testament to antebellum architecture.

This plantation house connects to literature through its association with Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind, as many consider it an inspiration for the fictional Tara estate.

Visitors can explore the property through guided tours conducted by staff in period costumes on Fridays from noon to 4 PM, with adult admission at 12 dollars.

The site maintains multiple original structures from different periods, including an authentic country store from 1896 and a preserved one-room schoolhouse.
