On the list for the National Register of Historic Places and a Mississippi landmark, The Oaks is the oldest residence in the city of Jackson. This magnificent example of Greek Revival architecture sits on four acres of land near the center of the capital city.

Built in 1853, The Oaks is also known as the Boyd House, since the Boyd family resided here for three generations. The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America acquired the Oaks in 1960.
