OHS at the 2026
​Cumberland County Exhibition

The Oxford Historical Society wrapped up another Cumberland County Exhibition, with three days of great conversations with friends new and old; new memberships in hand; more material donated for our archives; and a renewed outlook on our mandate — to preserve and promote knowledge of Oxford's history.

Sincere thanks to Betty Ann and Ray Watts, who staffed our booth from dawn to dusk (it certainly felt like that sometimes!); Dick Henley; Bill Henley; our friends with the Oxford Seniors Club, including Helen Ellis, Cindy Sutherland, Lisa Ferdinand, Sharon Rogers; and friends and fellows in history, the North Cumberland Historical and Genealogy Society, NS represented by Debby Weagle, Harvey Gullon, Joanne Tuttle, and likely others who I didn't have the pleasure to meet.

Volunteers are the lifeblood of our communities.  We encourage anyone with an interest in telling the stories of our town, our region, ourselves, to get involved with a society or group that shares your interests. 

​If you'd like to chat with us, drop by the Oxford Seniors Club's Monday morning free breakfast (9:00am-11:00am) or the Tuesday afternoon public Coffee House (1:00pm-3:00pm), you'll usually find some of us there.

Some of the projects we're planning that need your input and participation:
  • Oxford street name origins
  • Historic markers
  • The story of Oxford Police
  • Firefighting through the years
  • The industries that put us on the map
  • Finding and preserving photos & films of Oxford's past
  • Recognizing notable Oxford residents
  • The old Town Clock (story; restoration)
  • ....something we haven't thought of yet, but YOU have!

Weekly meetups!

Members of the OHS Executive and general members meet each Tuesday at the Oxford Seniors' Club for coffee / tea and informal chat. We talk about current matters of interest, update one another on event planning, and work to engage the public to further our mission to preserve Oxford's history. Drop by, drop a toonie in the jar, and enjoy refreshments and sweets.  

​We hope to see you there!                         Oxford Senior's Club • 31 Ellis St., Oxford, Nova Scotia.

Your History, online.

The Oxford Historical Society encourages you to share your historical images of our community and surrounding area. Send them to us via email, or post to the two Pictorial History of Oxford [1] [2] pages!
