City of Oxford to Consider Resolution to Sell Historic Antebellum Home Cedar Oaks

Cedar Oaks was built ca. 1857 by architect and builder William Turner. After surviving the Union occupation and burning of Oxford, Mississippi during the Civil War, the house was moved to this site in 1963 by local clubwomen after the house was threatened by development. Cedar Oaks is known locally as “the house that would not die.” The City of Oxford, Mississippi owns Cedar Oaks and the house and property are held in public trust.
