Oaklands Mansion brought back "Free Day in May," when admission to the historic house was free for all on May 12.
Free Day in May allowed visitors to step into the past and experience demonstrations on the grounds from the 19th Alabama Civilian Civil War Reenactors, along with demonstrations from other historic reenactors.
In Maney Hall, the Tennessee State Button Society displayed their collections of vintage buttons of all varieties. Guests was also invited to experience period games on the lawn, children’s dress-up, nature walks to the spring, visit the heritage vegetable garden and tour the mansion for free.
It also featured a vintage baseball exhibition provided by members of the Tennessee Association of Vintage Baseball.
