Explore Murfreesboro’s most mysterious mansion after dark.

These special nighttime tours will feature some of the unusual and creepy details and characteristics of the over 200-year-old house while it is decorated for the Halloween season. As the doors creak open to reveal the town’s spookiest historic home, the ghosts and goblins are waiting to welcome you to Oaklands Mansion.

As you explore the dark corners and dimly lit parlors, you will find unusual and curious items. For your safety, please bring your own flashlight. These special evening openings of the mansion will take place on October 17, 24, 30 & 31, at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. with admission of $15 for adults and students ages 12 & up and $10 for children ages 6-11.
