About St. Louis

With its historic districts, 19^th century charm and old-fashioned riverboat casinos, St. Louis takes visitors back to a bygone era, while surrounding them with the sights and sounds of an exciting, modern metropolis. St. Louis is known around the world for its collection of fascinating attractions, great restaurants, and exciting blues music and nightlife.

The Gateway Arch - the nation's tallest man-made monument and the symbol of St. Louis - is probably the most popular tourist attraction. After that, the variety of attractions and activities available in the region will make it easy to fill your free time.

One of the places you will want to visit is the St. Louis Mercantile Library. Established in 1846, it is the oldest library west of the Mississippi. The Mercantile Library contains almost 300,000 volumes embracing every field of human thought. Also, the Library possesses significant holdings of American art.

Plan for hot days and warm nights when visiting St. Louis in August. Temperatures will normally be in the mid- to high 90's during the day.

About Oxford

Chickasaw Indians once inhabited this area now known as Lafayette County. In 1835, three businessmen built a log cabin and opened a general store atop a hill that was destined to become the Square. T. D. Isom, the nephew of one of these men, suggested they name the town "Oxford" after the city in England that housed the great British university.

The greatest American writer of the 20^th century, William Faulkner, immortalized the vivid characters that walked Oxford's streets, managed its stores, and lived in its historic homes. Oxford's unique charm captivates its visitors like a true Southern Classic. Rowan Oak, the home of William Faulkner, is located in Oxford. The historic house is now owned by the University of Mississippi.

Oxford's historic Courthouse Square is yet another unique attraction for visitors. Since Oxford was incorporated in 1837, the square has remained the cultural and economic hub of the town. The square houses a variety of gourmet restaurants, home décor shops, and upscale clothing boutiques.

Summers in Oxford are hot and humid with temperatures normally in the high 90's during August.
