Lafayette County Schools are located in exciting and historic Oxford, Mississippi. From University of Mississippi sporting events to our historic downtown square, Oxford offers multiple tourist attractions. Along with important community resources, we’ve provided some of our favorite attractions below:

Blues Archive

If you're a music lover, you won't want to miss the Blues Archive. Located on the University of Mississippi campus, you'll find a mass collection of blues and blues-related materials.

Historic Downtown Square

Interested in history? Be sure to visit downtown Oxford. In pre-Civil War years and early war years, the downtown area thrived because Oxford stood as a commercial hub. After some time, the war started to wear on downtown and eventually it was burned down. The downtown area has been rebuilt and is a great area for nice dining and shopping.
