The Oxford Museum does many things. It of course tells the story of our very historic town, and our Semiquincentennial exhibit is a good story. Oxford, Maryland in the 1740s was a small but active port town on the Tred Avon River. Though modest in size, it played an important role in the to***co trade, linking nearby plantations to larger Chesapeake and Atlantic markets. The town consisted of only a few dozen buildings clustered near the waterfront, including houses, warehouses, taverns, and wharves. Most travel and commerce occurred by boat rather than by road. We ‘rode the tide of the Revolution’, and our exhibit shows how.
You know that we are lucky to have our own museum, where neighbors work diligently to preserve the history of our American small town. We bring neighbors together; we build community. We document the life of Oxford. Historic preservation is promoted with the Hanks Award. And everybody knows that we give great parties! All you have to do is join. The Oxford Museum serves you.
