The Haliburton Family presented Oaklands Manion’s Annual Christmas Dinner for supporters of the beloved Murfreesboro landmark. Before dinner, the festively decorated mansion was open for mingling and enjoying appetizers and LOLA wine, courtesy of the LaRoche Family Foundation. Guests proceeded to Maney Hall for a classic holiday dinner provided by Chef Jeff. Christmas music was provided by the Quarterlife Band. Julie’s Bartending Service offered a full bar. 

Funds raised by the Oakland’s non-profit educational group are used to maintain the mansion and its grounds, provide educational programs for a diverse audience, and to support Oaklands’ role as an important heritage tourism destination. For more information, visit www.oaklandsmansion.org.
