Historical Oxford, MS.

All the best in shopping, dining, sports, and culture can be found in historic Oxford and surrounding Lafayette County. Located 70 miles south of Memphis, the area offers a delightful abundance of tourist amenities.

A city of about 12,000 residents, Oxford is a vibrant University town, filled with unique shops and galleries, eclectic restaurants and clubs, historic landmarks, and comfortable inns. The area is dotted with parks and recreation centers that offer tennis, swimming, hiking, fishing, golf, and other sports.

People have been known to visit Oxford for a three-day weekend and then find themselves staying 15 years. Awash in the colors of blooming azaleas, wisteria, and dogwoods each spring, Oxford celebrates its appreciation of fine crafts, good music, and delicious food by hosting the Double Decker Arts Festival in the picturesque downtown Square.
