Oxford

The picturesque and pleasant city of Oxford is nestled among the dense forests of Mississippi's North Central Hills region. Life in the town is dominated by the University of Mississippi and its large, lively student body, which is named after the prestigious seat of learning in the United Kingdom.

While the state's most well-known college town has a wild side, it is also known for its scenic and sophisticated central square, as well as its sweet Southern charm. In addition to beautiful oak-shaded neighborhoods, the city has some amazing old architecture and historical sites, with many treasures found on its sprawling university campus.

Oxford also hosts a staggering array of concerts, conferences, and cultural events, with new shows and performances taking place all the time due to its large student population. Furthermore, The Square is home to a plethora of fantastic restaurants and bars where you can sample the town's famous nightlife.

History lovers will enjoy walking through the Confederate cemetery, hikers will enjoy the trails in Bailey's Wood, and all visitors owe it to themselves to take a tour of the massive and historic campus of Ole Miss. Other attractions include a farmers market, live music at the Lyric Theater, and more of that delicious Southern cooking.
