Tips from the community

Oxford, Mississippi, much like its namesake in the UK, is an academic town with stunning old English architecture from the original 19th century settlers. The town is home to the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) and is a lively place to explore bustling with students and locals alike. If you’re a William Faulkner fan, Oxford is a pilgrimage of sorts as much of his writing was inspired by the town he called home and the surrounding countryside. Oxford is also home to some incredible art galleries to explore; they even do an Art Crawl if you’re trying to see them all!
