The Oatlands Historic District, adjacent to Oatlands, is comprised of three properties.

The Church of our Savior: 
Built in 1877 and consecrated in 1878 on land deeded by George and Kate Powell Carter of Oatlands. Before the erection of the church, the small congregation worshipped in an abandoned blacksmith shop nearby. In 1903, Mr. and Mrs. William Corcoran Eustis built the parish house adjacent to the church.

Little Oatlands:
Located south of the main house at Oatlands and enjoying a spectacular view to the Bull Run Mountains, Little Oatlands includes two stone cottages erected circa 1760.  Prior to the construction of Oatlands, it is believed to have been the residential complex of George Carter while the mansion was under construction.

The Mountain Gap School:
Originally painted white, this school is the sole surviving remnant of the small village of Mountain Gap. It was constructed in 1886 on land purchased sixty years earlier from George Carter. When the school closed in 1953, it was the last surviving one room  schoolhouse in Loudoun County.
