A visit to The Oaks House is a trip through time. One of Jackson's oldest dwellings, this Greek Revival-style cottage was built about 1853 on four acres of land located near the center of Mississippi's capital city. Also known as the Boyd House, it was the home of James Hervey Boyd, Eliza Ellis Boyd, their six children, and numerous grandchildren. The house is one of few extant structures that survived the burning of Jackson in the Civil War. The Oaks is a Mississippi Landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
