Growing Stronger Together: A Celebration of Oxford County’s Past
Growing Stronger Together: A Celebration of Oxford County’s Past is a magnificent collection of stories, histories, and firsthand accounts of life in Oxford County over the past 175 years! From infamous criminals to a whole town setting out on the trip of a lifetime, and reminiscing about one’s summer job as a child, this book has it all!
The story of how this book came to be is just as interesting as its content! During the COVID 19 pandemic, Oxford County Archives started their first Blog to share interesting stories about Oxford’s past and to stay connected with the public while they were mandated to stay at home. The blog features local history stories, recipes, insights on archive projects, and general musing.
Over the years, as more and more articles were added, it became apparent that they had the makings of an amazing book on local history!
With the assistance of local contributors, the Archives is proud to present its latest publication “Growing Stronger Together: A Celebration of Oxford County’s Past” to commemorate Oxford County’s 175th anniversary since incorporation.
As a community archives, we pride ourselves on not only our community holdings, but on our connections and collaborations with other local heritage institutions and members of the public. In doing so, we were lucky enough to have a variety of contributors provide their knowledge of the history of the County as well as their own personal recollections and memories of growing up here.
The staff of the Oxford County Archives would like to thank the following for all their help in the creation of this publication:
