The best in sports, shopping, dining, and cultural events all come together in historic Oxford. Oxford has long been recognized as a culturally and historically town. The home of Nobel Prize-winning author William Faulkner, Oxford is a vibrant university town with a beautifully preserved courthouse Square. This town stands apart from others in that it has maintained its charm and Southern gentillity all the while becomming a cultural oasis for the arts and learning, plus one of the best places to retire.
