Oxford Area Historical Association

Welcome

The Oxford Area Historical Association (OAHA), which was founded in 2000 by Dr. Faye Doyle, is a local group of volunteers and members whose mission is to preserve and promote the historical significance of the Oxford Area. We present monthly programs on a variety of historical topics, record oral histories of long time Oxford residents, and have organized walking tours, co-sponsored reenactor programs in the school district, and arranged trips to historical sites. In 2014, a new project was launched by OAHA. An Archives Committee was created to acquire and process documents and objects related to the history of the Oxford Area. Our Archives Collection is now housed at 140-142 Locust St.
