Abstract:

Oakland Plantation in Carvers, a 200-year-old mansion on the National Registry of Historic Places, is currently used as a hunting lodge. Oakland was built in 1781 and is rumored to be haunted. The Neisler family who currently owns the house and lives there invites local residents to fish fries and barbeques on a regular basis, and the family's hospitality is endless. Lena Neill has been the cook at Oakland since before 1941 and her cooking makes guests reluctant to leave.
