Oxford, Mississippi—Southern charm if the phrase could ever be personified. Magnolia and oak trees, historic buildings, rich history, and bustling yet with a small town, welcoming vibe. At the heart, The Square, the cultural and economic hub of the city.

Locals and visitors alike enjoy a variety of shops, boutiques, galleries, and restaurants. Among them a book lover’s dream, Square Books, the independent bookstore with a wide selection of best-sellers, rare finds, and Southern literature. It’s continuously voted one of the nation’s best bookstores. Square Books has been a fixture in The Square since opening in September 1979.
