RED TELEPHONE BOOTH
Located on the Oxford Square in front of City Hall and several yards from the William Faulkner statue, the red telephone booth is an original phone booth brought all the way from the UK.

Yokna Sculpture Trail
“Featuring a rotating exhibit of 18 large-scale sculptures by locally, regionally, and nationally renowned exhibiting artists, this collaboration between the City of Oxford, The University of Mississippi, and the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council is the first outdoor sculpture program of its kind in North Mississippi. A vibrant arts culture and beautiful green spaces are at the heart of what makes our community great. It is our hope that this trail, that highlights both, will be a source of enjoyment for residents and visitors for years to come!”
