The city is now known as the home of Nobel Prize winning author William Faulkner and has been featured as a literary destination in publications such as Conde Nast Traveler, Southern Living and Garden and Gun. Many writers have followed in Faulkner’s footsteps, making Oxford their home over the years and adding to Oxford’s reputation as a

WHERE TO STAY:
Visitors Center
Oxford’s Historic Downtown Square, continued: Faulkner Alley: As a child, William Falkner (He added the U
later) would walk to the Square from his parent’s house at the corner of University Avenue and South Lamar Boulevard. In the middle of the row of businesses on the southwest section of the Oxford Square was a ‘cut through’ alley about ten feet wide. Later, in the 1950s, the police station was located in Faulkner Alley. In the 70’s, it was “Shine” Morgan’s record store. Still later, in the 80’s, the alley was opened again and turned into an easy short cut from the Square to the parking lot on South Lamar.
The Lyric Theatre: Originally opened in 1913 as a silent movie theatre, the Lyric has been recently renovated to provide premier live music and event space in Oxford and the Southeast. In its days as a theatre, the Lyric was the site where the movie version of Faulkner’s Intruder in the Dust premiered. Located at 1006 Van Buren. For more information contact call (662) 2345333 or visit www.thelyricoxford.com for a full line up of events.
Explore Oxford’s Literary Sites: Experience literary Oxford at William Faulkner’s Rowan Oak: Built in 1844, Rowan Oak became the home
of William Faulkner in 1930 and remained his home until his death in 1962. Visitors can see the place that brought Faulkner inspiration for his fictional version of Oxford and Lafayette County, called Jefferson and Yoknapatawpha County. The outline of his award winning novel A Fable is written on the wall of his study.

Immerse yourself in Oxford’s History:
Explore Oxford’s Many Outdoor Recreation sites:
Oxford’s rich history has inspired writers like William Faulkner
• FNC Park: Soccer fields, baseball fields, softball fields, concession buildings, and trailhead pavilion providing shade and seating which leads to walking trails surrounding complex and start-of-the-art BMX track. • Avent Park: Lighted Tennis Courts, Disc Golf, Playground, Baseball Fields • Hank Aaron Triplex: Baseball Fields, Pavilions • John Leslie Tennis Complex: Lighted Tennis Courts • Patricia C. Lamar Park: Jogging/Bicycle Trail
and is immortalized in many of his books. Today, visiting Oxford’s many historical sites is a walk through history. From the Civil War to the Civil Rights Movement, there are many lessons and stories that lie in Oxford’s history that can be experienced at these attractions.
The Burns Belfry: The Burns Methodist Episcopal Church was
organized by freed slaves in 1869 in an area of Oxford once known as “freedmen’s town.” The current building was erected in 1910 and played a major role in the lives of many African-Americans in Oxford from 1910-1974, when a new Burns United Methodist Church was built several blocks away. In September of 2002, author John Grisham donated the church building to the OxfordLafayette County Heritage Foundation, with the understanding that it was to be rehabilitated and administered by the Oxford Development Association. Restored in 2013, the Burns Belfry Church will open with permanent exhibits fall of 2013.
Cedar Oaks: Built in 1859 by William Turner, Cedar Oaks is a Greek revival structure that has survived a tumultuous past. Molly Turner Orr gathered a fire brigade to save the home in 1864, set aflame by occupying Union troops. Nearly a century later Cedar Oaks was moved 2.2 miles from its original location to survive business development. Presently, the home is maintained by the OxfordLafayette Historic Homes, Inc., and is available by reservation for civic clubs, teas, receptions, weddings, and tours. St Peter’s Cemetery: A few blocks
northeast of the Square, the old Oxford Cemetery is nestled in the rolling hills of a quiet neighborhood. Saint Peter’s is the final resting place for novelist William Faulkner as well as many of Oxford’s most prominent citizens. L.Q.C. Lamar, a former U.S. Congressman, Secretary of the Interior under President Cleveland, and U.S. Supreme Court Justice, is buried here. Beside the circle of cedars lies a Revolutionary War Veteran, as well as a Confederate General. William Faulkner’s grave lies at the bottom of the hill on North 16th Street.

Visit the beautiful campus of The University of Mississippi:
N
amed one of the Most Beautiful campuses in America by Forbes Magazine, walking the University campus can be a treat. The campus is designed for walking and visitors should get a parking pass from UPD before parking on campus. UPD is located on Rebel Drive.
University Museum:
Located on the main campus of the University of Mississippi, the University Museums comprise the Mary Buie Museum (1939), the adjoining Kate Skipwith Teaching Museum (1977), the Seymour Lawrence Gallery of American Art (1998), and the Lib Fortune Gallery (1998). The names associated with the building honor members of the Skipwith Family of Oxford, who built the original museum and provided the site and partial funding for the addition. The museums are home to several impressive, permanent collections including the Robinson collection of Greek and Roman antiquities, the Millington-Barnard Collection of 19th century scientific instruments, the personal collections of Mary Buie & Kate Skipwith, and an extensive collection of the work of Theora Hamblett, a native Oxonian folk artist. Each year the University Museums host eight to ten temporary exhibits in conjunction with various university departments and the local community. Traveling exhibitions from other museums are also represented.
The Lyceum: The oldest building on the Ole Miss campus, this iconic building, completed in 1848, was the only survivor of the five original buildings to the University. Ionic Greek Revival style architecture, the building has become an Ole Miss trademark.
Civil Rights Monument/Freedom Trail Marker: The Freedom Trail
marker and the Civil Rights monument commemorating the events that took place during the integration of Ole Miss is located behind the Lyceum. This moving statue beautifully honors James Meredith, the first African American student to attend Ole Miss and commemorates the progress the University has made since the tragic and historic events that took place in 1962.
Center for the Study of Southern Culture: Housed in Barnard Observatory
on the University of Mississippi campus, The Center for the Study of Southern Culture promotes regional studies and, as the first center of its kind in the nation, serves as a model for future centers in other regions. Its projects include the award-winning Encyclopedia of Southern Culture and publication of Living Blues magazine, the gospel music magazine Rejoice!, and in addition cohosts the annual Faulkner Conference. The observatory displays a changing photographic exhibit throughout the year. A marker on the Mississippi Blues Trail honoring the Living Blues Magazine, produced at Ole Miss is also located on this site.
Confederate Cemetery: Just to the south of the University’s Tad Smith Coliseum is a modest walled lawn with a single monument at the center. Here lie around 700 Confederate and Union dead from the Battle of Shiloh in 1862. During the Civil War the buildings of Ole Miss became hospitals for the battle wounded, and the casualties were thus buried here. At one time the cemetery had individual markers but a groundskeeper removed them to mow and forgot where they belonged. Ger tr ude Ford C e n t e r f or Performing Arts: Completed
in December of 2002, this state of the art facility is a must see for visitors. The 88,000 square foot, multi-event hall serves the University’s performing arts needs and its commitment to cultural enrichment and outreach service. Standing six stories tall, the Ford Center seats 1200 in its regal main hall and additionally offers dance and ballet studios, dressing rooms and green rooms, conference and office space, and a reception hall. The first Presidential debate in 2008 between then Senator Barack Obama and Senator John McCain was held at the Ford Center.
PLAN YOUR VISIT: Mark Your Calendar!
Oxford has many events throughout the year that visitors can participate in.
