Oxford, Mississippi is located about 75 miles southeast of Memphis, Tennessee. Although the town is known for their very own University of Mississippi, commonly referred to as "Ole Miss", you can find something to do for everyone here. The Courthouse Square features various boutiques, museums, art galleries, and restaurants with great Southern food. There are plenty of historical sites to visit where you can learn all about how Oxford became what it is today. Ole Miss hosts some exciting sporting events, such as classic tailgates and football games, but the campus also features art and antiquities. There are some beautiful nature trails to walk, hike, or bike. If you like day trips, other popular towns such as Birmingham, Destin, and Little Rock are only a drive away.
