The L.Q.C. Lamar House was built in the late 1860s by Lucius and Virginia Lamar. Over subsequent years the house changed hands but remained in the family. In 2004 it was purchased by the Oxford-Lafayette County Heritage Foundation for $425,000. The City of Oxford now owns the home, which contains several exhibits detailing Lucius Lamar's accomplishments as a congressman, Secretary of the Interior, and a Supreme Court Justice.
The home also has several exhibits with information about his personal life. Admission to the museum is free, and guided tours are available for large groups.
