Oatlands Opens For 2012

Tunes and Tours, Oatlands Season Opening Party March 25 from 1-4pm  FREE and Family Friendly!


Come back to Oatlands, or come for the first time.  We'll be open for a special season opening preview from 1pm-4pm on Sunday, March 25. 


Solo acoustic artist Kerry McCool provides the tunes, Oatlands wonderful guides provide the tours!  This FREE event is Oatlands' annual celebration of Spring.  Kerry treats us to new favorites and old throughout the afternoon, while Oatlands guides help guests explore history.

This year's special guests are Confederate General D.H. Hill, who led the withdrawal from Leesburg in March of 1862, and his wife, Isabella.  Oatlands is grateful to Mr. Doug Batson, who provides a first person interpretation of D.H. Hill, and Terri Batson, portraying Isabella Hill.  The two describe their experiences in a reenacted exchange of letters from the gloomy 12-day march. Presentations at 1:30 and 3:00pm. Mr. Batson's website is www.dhhill.org

Oatlands is grateful to our event sponsors, who will be on-site all afternoon to talk with visitors about their products and services.  Sponsors for this event include:
