Every October Oaklands Mansion opens its doors at night and lets folks wander the halls of the decorated mansion with flashlights on a self guided tour. This year was no exception, though the festivities were heavily scaled back with none of the regular story tellers on the lawn or other fancier attractions. Oaklands Mansion is not known as a "haunted mansion" per se, though there have been some reports. The mansion curators do a good job of making sure the voices of the enslaved that were housed in the mansion have a voice. There is equal signage from the perspective of the house slaves as there is from the family that owned the mansion.
