A HISTORY WE SHARE, A FUTURE WE CREATE

George Carter
George Carter
The history of Oatlands begins with pre-revolutionary figure Robert Carter III, a Loudoun County land-owner, and extends through the intervening years with the ownership of the Carter and Eustis families.
Oatlands is dedicated to advancing historic preservation by preserving the past and engaging the future. It is committed to interpreting the historical , cultural and natural significance of the property and to upholding its core values of stewardship, education, interpretation, research and community outreach.

The future of Oatlands is up to us.

Oatlands Historic House and Gardens
“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.

Reclaim Your Story Exhibit

See the exhibit in the former Smokehouse near the entrance to the garden on your visit to Oatlands.
