Oxford is one of Avery and Maggie's favorite places to visit! The town has so much character and there are so many great things to do! Below is a list of some of Maggie and Avery's favorite spots:


University of Mississippi Campus:

-The Grove: The Grove is a 10-acre grassy park in the center of campus which is heavily shaded by large oak trees.. This is where the tailgates on football gamedays happen! A main attraction in The Grove is something called the "Walk of Champions". In the fall of 1998, the Walk of Champions arch was erected on the east side of the The Grove, where the Rebel players begin their walk for every Saturday home game. The Walk of Champions arch was given to the University by the 1962 Rebel football team, which is the only squad in Ole Miss football history to finish a campaign with a perfect record (10-0). Maggie's grandfather, Wesley Sullivan, has his name engraved on the Walk of Champions arch. Wes played the positions of End and Kicker on the Rebel football team from 1959 to 1962. Wes played in the 1960 Sugar Bowl, the 1961 Cotton Bowl and the 1962 Sugar Bowl. These teams won the National Championship in 1960 and 1962, with the 1962 team being the only unbeaten, untied team in Ole Miss football history.

-Vaught-Hemingway Stadium: Ole Miss football stadium that seats over 60,000 fans.

-Swayze Field: Ole Miss baseball field- Home to the 2022 MCWS National Champions! Famous for the right field beer showers.


The Square:

The historic downtown of Oxford. The square has lots of great places to eat, drink and shop! The square is the place to be on weekends and is one of Maggie and Avery's favorite places!

-Square Books: this is Maggie's favorite place to go on the Square. SB is a two story bookstore with a café and balcony on the second floor. Growing up, the ice cream at the café was Maggie's favorite ice cream shop in Oxford.
