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.
Mission
The mission of the Oxford Area Historical Association is to preserve and promote the historical significance of the Oxford area,
educate the community on historical interests, and to encourage the economic vitality of the Oxford area through historic
