Audubon Historic Site Exploration
Audubon Historic Site is located on Oakley Plantation, where John James Audubon lived in 1821. During this time, he was commissioned to teach illustration to the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Pirrie, owners of Oakley. Although his engagement was brief and there is no record of his success in teaching Miss Pirrie, Audubon worked on several of his paintings while in the lush, natural, and peaceful setting of Oakley, filling his sketch pad with notes and drawings for his famous series of bird illustrations. The variety of birds singing throughout the 100-acre forest inspires visitors to this day.
