For 250 years, Oxford residents and family members have answered the call to serve our country in wartime and in peace.

Veterans have added strength and pride to the fabric of our community.

Although they are typically humble and very quiet about their time in the armed forces and what they experienced while on duty, they deserve our recognition and our thanks.

To recognize the service and contributions of these individuals, the Oxford Museum will present “Oxford Salutes Its Veterans,” a special exhibition running now through November 16.

Immediately following the November 11th ceremony in Oxford’s Town Park at 11am, the Oxford Museum will host a reception with an opportunity to view this exhibit.

The museum at 101 South Morris Street is open free of charge, Friday through Monday, 10 to 4.
