Sights in Oxford

  1. Rowan Oak

    Literary pilgrims head directly to Rowan Oak, the graceful 1840s home of William Faulkner, who authored so many brilliant and dense novels set in Mississippi, and whose work is celebrated in Oxford with an annual conference in July. Tours of Rowan Oak - where Faulkner lived from 1930 until he died in 1962 - are self-guided.

    For a serene stretch of the legs, head to Lamar Park just outside of town where you can get in a good jog or casual stroll by the manicured artificial lake.
