Mississippi Statesman Traditional Cache

Built by Lucius and Virginia Lamar in 1869-70, the house originally sat on 30 acres. Today the remaining three acres between 616 N. 14th Street and N. 16th create a park-like setting in the heart of Oxford. Benches offer a private, tranquil place to read a book, chat with a friend, or simply relax.

Learn the compelling story of one man’s surprising impact on a scarred country, the story of Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus Lamar. As Oxford rose from the ashes, L.Q.C. Lamar prepared to become a statesman in this house while he reflected on defeat and resolved to work for reconciliation between North and South. Later it became Senator Lamar’s retreat from the demands of Washington. His beautifully restored 1870 home graces three acres within Oxford’s North Lamar Historic District, walking distance from the Oxford Square... This family friendly cache is a black pvc container with log book and pen.
