UPDATE: Annual Peach Festival Still On

The Oxford Historical Society's Annual Peach Festival will be held on Saturday, August 27th at St. Peter's Church Hall from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m.

Admission is $1. All proceeds go toward renovating the Twitchell Rowland Homestead for a town museum.

Refreshments include fresh homemade peach shortcake, peaches, Rich's Farm peach ice cream and beverages.

This year's Peach Festival theme is "Families of Oxford." Photos of families who have lived in Oxford for generations will be on display. Families who have moved into Oxford more recently are also invited to submit pictures to be shared, as they are a part of our town's heritage as well. Labeled photos may be sent to Dorothy DeBisschop, Oxford Historical Society, P. O. Box 582, Oxford, CT, 06478, or left at the desk in the Oxford Public Library. All photos will be returned.

The program will feature maps,  photos, and videos of the historic Hale Peach Orchards of Seymour and Oxford.
