Let's take a trip to Oxford, Ohio.

Time to start packing the car.

48 HOURS IN OXFORD, OHIO: A Small Town Getaway.

Nestled in the heart of southwestern Ohio, you will find a small town that is not only vibrant but filled with that small college town energy and charm. Oxford Ohio may be home to one of the oldest public universities, Miami University, but it’s the people, proximity to nature, the art scene and the vibrancy of the town that makes experiencing this small town such an immersive experience.

Hueston Woods State Park

Time to start packing.

This Ohio State Park has so much to offer.



If you have never explored Hueston Woods State Park now is the time. Located in southwest Ohio, this State Park is the perfect location for your next outdoor adventure. Enjoy a picnic, go swimming, hike one of the parks trails or the Nature Preserve trail, pedal the mountain bike trails, or just sit and do a little fishing.

Don't miss Oxford's artsy side.


This college town embraces all things art. Every 2nd Friday, artisans open their studio spaces to visitors during "Celebration of the Arts" at the Oxford Community Arts Center.


There are three public murals located throughout the city. Two in downtown and the newest one, the "Peffer Park Fox Mural" can be found along the walking trail and a short distance from parking.


Make plans now to attend next year's Hueston Woods Arts & Crafts Fair, held every June.
