Explore the rich history of Oakley Cabin’s African American roadside community. Learn how these tenant farm families lived and worked on this historic site from emancipation well into the 20th century. Their culture and traditions heavily influenced those of surrounding communities, and their story is deeply woven into Montgomery County’s history. At the center of this site is Oakley Cabin, which was inhabited until 1976 and now serves as a living history museum. Park is open daily, sunrise to sunset.
