A special tour curated by Audubon Oakley House State Historic Site Interpretive Ranger Michaela Brown traces the lives of five women to live on the property where Audubon once painted his Birds of America—from Silvia Freeman, who was born into slavery in 1855 and remained a cook at Oakley even after she was freed in her youth; to Audubon's pupil Eliza Pirrie. Coming up, tours will be offered on April 13 at 11:30 am, 1:30 pm, and 3:30 pm. $10 adults, $8 seniors, $6 students. lastateparks.com.
