Review & FAQ:

Nestled among the rolling hills of Lafayette County in north Mississippi, Oxford offers a graceful Southern charm and is known as the ‘The Little Easy’ for its ornate downtown balconies and colorful energy not unlike New Orleans. Resting in the heart of a county named for a French hero in the American Revolution, this region boasts an unrivaled cultural richness, which is displayed in a dynamic artistic scene with a variety of entertainment to boot, such as plays, exhibitions, festivals and shows.

Oxford has a wonderful outdoor scene with a plethora of activities, including fishing at Sardis Lake, tennis, camping or picnicking in one of the local parks.

Don’t Miss: Oxford is a ‘Bike Friendly Community’, so exploring the town on two wheels is safe and easy.
