Oxford

Among the cities of Mississippi, Oxford stands out for the University of Mississippi, whose campus has shaped the town since 1848. Widely known as Ole Miss, the university brings an academic rhythm, college sports and a full calendar of public arts events to this North Mississippi community. Around the Courthouse Square, bookshops, restaurants and music venues sustain a compact downtown culture. Oxford is also closely associated with Nobel Prize-winning writer William Faulkner; his former home, Rowan Oak, is preserved by the university. Set among the low, wooded hills of northern Mississippi, the city introduces the region’s literary and university traditions.
