Local Attractions


Blues Archive

If you're a music lover, you won't want to miss the Blues Archive. Located on the University of Mississippi campus, you'll find a mass collection of blues and blues-related materials.

Historic Downtown Square

Interested in history? Be sure to visit downtown Oxford. In pre-Civil War years and early war years, the downtown area thrived because Oxford stood as a commercial hub. After some time, the war started to wear on downtown and eventually it was burned down. The downtown area has been rebuilt and is a great area for nice dining and shopping.

L.Q.C. Lamar House Museum

Take a trip to visit the historic home of the late statesman Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus Lamar. If you love all things Southern, then you will enjoy learning about Lamar’s great impact on the South.

Ole Miss Sporting Events

If you’ve never experienced a South Eastern Conference college sporting event, then you are in for a treat. Plan a trip to see Ole Miss battle against some of the best college teams in the nation. Attending a sporting event will give you a nice taste of southern culture, and you will witness a very exciting, competitive college sporting environment.
