Library Artifacts On Display

The Oxford Memorial Library is currently featuring a display of artifacts that have been found during recent construction at our library. While working on Phase 4a of our construction project, Wakeman Construction discovered some interesting artifacts in both the basement and attic areas. We are excited to share some of these items with our patrons. Some of the items found include; an old carpenter's level, shoes, medicine and potion bottles, books and tools. One of the most interesting items found is an admission ticket to a Thanksgiving Dinner and Matinee at the Citizen's Opera House, Oxford, NY. The dinner took place on Thursday November 26, 1891 and was served from Noon - 8pm. A full menu is found on the back of the ticket. Please stop by and take a peek into our history. For more information call the library at 843-6146. The Oxford Memorial Library is your home town community center for information and entertainment, and a great place to meet friends and neighbors.
