Oatlands Inc

Oatlands' ample space and quiet places of solitude provide a sanctuary that enables each visitor to conduct their own, personal exploration of history and the outdoors. An ever changing tapestry of sights, sounds and fragrances in the meadows, woodlands and gardens also provide a rich and varied outdoor experience year-round. The opportunity to oatlands continued its substantial investment in preserving the enable the public to enjoy open space, beautiful settings and nature were especially important during the pandemic. We officially opened seven miles of publicly available walking, running, biking and equestrian trails as well as areas where families could picnic. We opened oatlands to the public year-round for the first time rather than closing for three months during the winter.

Oatlands continued its substantial investment in preserving the buildings and grounds of the property, including our 100 to 250 year old specimen trees. For the first time in many years, arborists cataloged, surveyed the health of and cared for trees. Continuing improvements were also made to the mansion, including its restoring its windows which had been nailed and painted shut. Reopening the windows improved airflow, helping to preserve the structural integrity of the mansion.
