We are delighted that you wish to learn more about retiring to Oxford, Mississippi! To learn more about our town, an online packet that can be downloaded from this website is filled with useful and interesting facts about Oxford and the University of Mississippi, as well as information on many of their amenities – the arts, health care, athletics, and academia. If you would like to view a video about our lovely community, we can mail you a videocassette for a $10.00 deposit, which will be refunded upon its return. An interactive video-CD disc or DVD is also available for purchase at a cost of $5.00. All costs include shipping and handling, and checks may be made out to Oxford-Lafayette Co. Economic Development Foundation.

As a result of Oxford’s national recognition as a picture-perfect community for retirement, people from all over the country have chosen to relocate here. We are fortunate to have a volunteer group of local retirees known as Ambassadors who are ready and willing to share their stories with you. Because they have already been through the process of choosing a retirement destination, the Ambassadors are a knowledgeable source about retiree-related issues. If you would like to have an Ambassador call, I will be glad to make the arrangements. If you would like to plan a trip to Oxford, I will be happy to assist you with your plans and would welcome the opportunity to give you a tour, or set up a meeting/tour with one of our Ambassadors.

Please call us toll-free at 1-800-880-6967, or e-mail Christy@oxfordms.com if you would like us to send you a video or if you have questions about relocating to Oxford. For additional information, you can visit our web site at www.retire.oxfordms.com. We look forward to seeing you in Oxford so that you can see for yourself why the author, John Grisham, describes this lovely community as “The undiscovered jewel of the South.”

Best wishes,
Christy Knapp
