There are many reasons to love the town of Oxford. You could choose to admire the deeply rooted devotion the town has for it's university "Ole Miss," or that William Faulkner chose to spend his life here and the town featured in his writing or just because it is a beautiful town. We chose to love it for it's Walmart.
Finding a prime parking spot in a fairly quiet and serene spot we were surrounded by the lush green of Oxford. Here we set up our base camp as we spent two days exploring the city. We visited a gallery in the old town square, walked the grounds of William Falkner's home, Rowan Oak, and visited a museum at Ole Miss where we found the most unique art collection, which included primitive art and pictures of color spectrums.
Under different circumstances we would have found it difficult to leave, but we were spurred on knowing we would be spending the next four days in Blues paradise and were further motivated when we woke up Thursday to torrential rains and flash flood warnings. Goodbye Oxford!
Rowan Oak
