In the mid-1980’s, Oaklands Mansion was host to an annual Dollhouse Exhibit. Last year, we decided to pull that tradition out of the past and held our first revival of the Exhibition. We had many wonderful people come together and bring the most amazing array of vintage, antique, and newer handmade pieces. Guests were thrilled to see the wonderful creations and really enjoyed the experience. We are excited to bring the community together again to continue this tradition for 2nd year.
During the week of the exhibition, the Mansion will have antique and vintage dollhouses displayed in different rooms. In Maney Hall, guests will find an Exhibition of handmade dollhouses, dioramas, & miniatures made by local artists & hobbyists.
If you are a dollhouse, diorama, or miniatures enthusiast, you don’t want to miss participating this wonderful tradition. The Exhibition will be taking place Sunday, March 29th – April 4th, 2026 at Oaklands Mansion and Maney Hall and open to guests 10am – 4pm.
There is no entry fee to participate in the exhibition. Guest tickets to view the exhibition will be our regular admission prices of $15 for adults, $12 for seniors or military, and $10 for students, and free for Oaklands Members. Tickets include touring both Oaklands Mansion and Maney Hall.
The Dollhouse, Diorama, and Miniatures Exhibition is more than a celebration of art and history; it supports a meaningful cause. As a non-profit educational organization, Oaklands Mansion is committed to preserving local history and enriching the community’s quality of life.
Revenue generated from tickets will fuel further community events and initiatives, ensuring that the Mansion continues to be a cornerstone of cultural appreciation and educational opportunities in Murfreesboro.
