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.
