The Women of Oakley

Four generations of women owned and operated Oakley House in what was otherwise considered to be a man's world. At the same time, the generations of African American women who served them fought to create and maintain their own identities. In this guided experience, guests will get a behind the scenes look at both lineages of resilient women. Tours offered at 11:30 am, 1:30 pm, and 3:30 pm. $10; $8 for seniors 62 and older; $6 for students ages 4–17; free for children 3 and younger.
