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.

Our Archives Collection is now housed at 140-142 Locust St.
