Oaklands Presents Magic at the Mansion for Father’s Day

Oaklands Mansion and the Middle Tennessee Magic Club have joined together to offer a special treat for fathers. On Sunday, June 18, dads and their families can enjoy some time on the lawn of the Mansion. Along with magic shows, Christie-Q BBQ’s food truck, music, cigars and free tours will be available to pamper dads.

“Oaklands Plantation began in 1815. Dr. James Maney and his wife, Sallie Murfree Maney, built a two room brick house next to a large spring north of Murfreesboro”, says Karen Whitaker, Special Events Representative at Oaklands Mansion. “It was on this tract of land that the Maney’s constructed what would become one of the most elegant homes in Middle Tennessee. It was in honor of Sallie Murfree Maney’s father, that our city was named Murfreesborough and later shortened to Murfreesboro”.

Three magic shows are scheduled and dads can tour the mansion for FREE. Family members will receive a discounted tour for $5.00 each. This event will take place from 12 p.m.-5 p.m. Ticket prices are $10 each or $25 per family. Oaklands Mansion is located at 901 North Maney Avenue. Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
