The future of Oatlands is up to us.
“It was a thankful task to restore the old beauty, although the thoughts and conceptions were new, they fitted it. And every stone vase or bench, every box-hedge planted, seemed to fall into its rightful place and become a part of the whole.”
— Edith Eustis, 1923

Telling All of Our Stories
Telling All of Our Stories is a long-term plan to research and interpret the broader story at Oatlands, going beyond the Carter and Eustis families who owned the property. Given the location between the Catoctin Mountain range and the waters of Goose Creek, the land would have been appealing to American Indians for hunting and fishing. Artifacts found in the Oatlands area are evidence of this. Later during the Carter time period, enslaved men, women, and children lived and labored at Oatlands. Their history is being documented and shared in the Reclaim Your Story project.
