Located in Leesburg, VA, Oatlands Historic House & Gardens is an early 19th-century historic destination. A co-stewardship property of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Oatlands is recognized on the National Register of Historic Places and as a National Historic Landmark.
Oatlands is known for its dedication to historic preservation and education, and you can learn more about its rich history — then and now.
Originally a plantation, Oatlands today features a Greek Revival mansion, beautiful terraced gardens, and an array of outbuildings on more than 360 acres. Visitors will also find the Mt. Gap School, known locally as the Little Red Schoolhouse. Built in 1877, it exemplifies the iconic one-room rural schoolhouse. Oatlands also boasts a historic greenhouse constructed circa 1810 — recognized as the oldest standing propagation greenhouse in the South!

Called the Oatlands Heritage Trails, they meander through rolling fields and wooded areas and include some creek crossings.
