Christmas was a time of great rejoicing… Parties were given in the big lodge hall over the dining rooms during the holidays. Games were played, refreshments served and a jolly time experienced.

The Singing Class (1873-1943)
The Singing Class tours of North Carolina were some of the earliest fundraising activities for Oxford. The children’s most popular songs from those tours were recorded on homemade 45s and 78s, which we hold in the physical archives of the museum in Oxford.
