Since Oxford’s incorporation, much has changed—but traces of its industrious past remain. Recognizable landmarks of today remind us of a time when the Little River fueled growth, innovation, and opportunity.
In this fascinating local history program with Oxford Historical Society’s Dottie DeBischopp, we’ll explore how the Little River powered mills that produced lumber, cider, apple brandy, and woolen cloth. Hat making flourished, followed by the production of early photographic images known as daguerreotypes. The rise of the paper mill in Southford became a major employer for both Oxford and Southbury, and expanding commerce eventually brought railroad investment to the area.
 Although these industries have faded, the Little River still carries the stories of Oxford’s early prosperity. We’ll examine both the rise and decline of the mills and factories—and how their legacy lives on today, including in the development of the Little River Nature Preserve.
