Best Of Mississippi 2008
Congratulations to the many Oxford establishments featured in the July/August issue of Mississippi Magazine!

"... bookstores are dominant fixtures of Oxford's nostalgic, all-American town square ("the Square"), a slice of Southern life rarely seen in cities today. The palpable sense that this is the prototypical Southern college town is never more ubiquitous than during home football games at Ole Miss - late August to late November - when marathon tailgating and good-natured mayhem abounds."

Saturdays • Skipwith Cottage • 10am
Guided Walking Tours of North Lamar

This summer, you're invited to take a stroll along North Lamar and learn why it has earned a place on the National Register of Historic Places. Guided walking tours of Oxford's North Lamar Historic District will be offered every Saturday morning at 10am, departing from the Skipwith Cottage next to City Hall. Guides will point out architectural features, introduce some prominent people from Oxford's past, and explain why two houses have been declared National Historic Landmarks.

Sponsored by the Oxford Convention & Visitors Bureau, guided walking tours are offered as part of its heritage tourism program. Travelers are given a personal, up-close introduction to Oxford, and residents can learn a little more about local history. It's a pleasant way to get some exercise while taking a closer look at one of Oxford's most attractive assets.

Contact the Oxford Convention & Visitors Bureau for more information at 662-232-2367.
