The Oxford Museum is lucky to be, well, to be in Oxford. This small American town has citizens who work diligently to not only preserve its history, but who work to make it beautiful. Thank you to all in the Oxford community who help clean up the garden. This award winning garden was created by another noteworthy Oxford group, the OGC. The Oxford Garden Club designed it, and they even show up to clean it up.

Nothing quite like the feeling of community when you work side-by-side toward a common purpose. Thank you to those who serve us as we st the Oxford Museum strive to serve you.

The Oxford Museum looks across the street at our beautiful park and that gorgeous oak. The stories that tree could tell, if only it could talk. But that’s our job at the museum. If you haven’t seen our story at the time of the Revolution, don’t delay. The exhibit comes down the end of this month.

Of course when you come in, make sure your membership is up to date.

“Grammy and her nutcrackers”: that was the refrain each Christmas in the Bixler family. The tradition began with Peg Bixler, mother of Oxford’s Captain Tom Bixler, whose passion for collecting nutcrackers grew into a treasured family legacy. Now, the Bixler family is honoring their grandmother by sharing her collection in the Oxford Museum’s upcoming holiday exhibit, “Grammy’s Nutcrackers.”

Peg and her family discovered many unique nutcrackers from different countries across Europe during their travels. Highlights include an iconic German Oktoberfest figure and pieces that commemorate historical moments, including the coronation of King Charles, the German mark, and the COVID-19 pandemic. These and other magical wooden creations will be on exhibit at the Oxford Museum from Nov. 20 through Dec. 13, noon to 4 p.m.

Come on in and take a seat at the Oxford Community Center on Wednesday, September 30th. 3 - 5:30. We’re showing the award winning movie, 1776, in partnership with the OCC. You’ll enjoy this musical drama set in the summer of the American Revolution. The plot follows the heated political debates in the Continental Congress over declaring our country’s independence. Blending historical dialogue with song, it reimagines the personalities and compromises behind the founding document. If you haven’t seen it, now’s your chance! If you have, you can again relish the story of our Revolution in song.

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. And it’s FREE!
