​The History of The Oaks Plantation
Pike Road, Alabama

​The house was built ca. 1830’s by Alexander Carter on a small land holding. Increasing fortunes led to a 1780-acre diversified and innovative plantation. Oak trees planted on either side of the front drive led to it's name. During WWII, an auxiliary landing strip, called Mt. Meigs Field, was built on the land by the Army Corp of Engineers. It was used for training by American, French, and British aviation cadets from Gunter Field, as well as by “Tuskegee Airmen” from Moton Field. Prominent families who owned The Oaks include those of Edward Pierce, E.T. Davis, William Nicrosi, Price McLemore, Tine Dave, and Wayne Dawson.
