Oxford Travel Guide
Oxford in Mississippi is a historic town that named after the well-known Oxford University in the UK. Oxford, Mississippi, was founded in the early 1800s and the highly anticipated University of Mississippi was established only a decade after. Oxford played an important role in the American Civil War, and it is filled with history. This magical little town is only a few miles away from the beautiful Holly Springs National Forest, which is a popular spot all year around. Sardis Lake is very close as well, so many visitors decide to use Oxford as a base to explore Mississippi.
