The Oaks House Museum, also known as The Oaks, located at 823 North Jefferson Street in Jackson, Mississippi, is the former home of Jackson Mayor James H. Boyd (1809–77) and his wife Eliza Ellis Boyd and their family.
Having survived the burning of Jackson during the Civil War, The Oaks is one of the oldest structures in the city.
The original property was larger than the current one, at one time encompassing 4 acres (16,000 m2) and extending north to Boyd Street and west to North Street, an urban farmstead with main house, barn, detached kitchen, smokehouse, greenhouse, and other outbuildings.
Mrs. Eliza Ellis Boyd outlived her husband by many years and lived in the house until her death in 1902.
In 1960, the grandchildren sold the property to The National Society of the Colonial Dames of America in the State of Mississippi (NSCDA-MS).
