Lamar House

The L.Q.C. Lamar House Museum in Oxford, MS is a captivating destination that delves into the intricate politics of slavery, secession, and reunion in the United States. Through professionally crafted exhibits that harmonize with the authentically restored Greek Revival home of Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus Lamar, visitors gain insight into the events that tore the nation apart and the efforts it took to bring it back together. Originally built in 1869-70 by Lucius and Virginia Lamar, the house now sits on three acres of park-like surroundings, offering a serene setting in the heart of Oxford. With its original appearance and a meticulous restoration completed in 2008, this handsome Greek Revival structure serves as a testament to Lamar's life and the profound impact of politics during a divided era.Generated from the website
