The Oaks House Museum

Located on North Jefferson Street, this house was built in 1846. The Greek Revival cottage was occupied by General William Tecumseh Sherman during the siege of Jackson in June 1863; it was one of only 11 structures left standing after he burned the city. The house is furnished with period antiques including furniture from Abraham Lincolns law office.

Open Tuesday through Saturday 10am-3pm; closed major holidays.
