Stately Oaks finally has received a sign touting its National Register of Historic Places designation. The popular Jonesboro attraction has been on the national register since the 1980s but there was nothing that informed visitors of that distinction. Texas resident Janet Batcherlor purchased the plaque which was dedicated in a recent ceremony at the museum at 100 Carriage Lane in Jonesboro. Stop by for a visit. It’s open for tours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays. Admission: $12 for adults, $9 for senior citizens and military people and $6 for children age 5 to 11.
