Oakley Cabin Saturdays

An African American roadside community lived and worked on this historic site from emancipation well into the 20^th century. Their culture and traditions heavily influenced those of surrounding communities, and their story is deeply woven into Montgomery County’s rich history. At the center of this site is Oakley Cabin, which was inhabited until 1976 and now serves as a living history museum.

Free guided museum tours are offered on the second and fourth Saturdays, with special events happening on the second Saturday of May, June, and July:

• May 12 – Historic Gardening
• June 9 – 19th-century Health & Healing
• July 14 – Musical Traditions
