About Us:

The Oxford Junction Heritage Museum is housed in a building built shortly after the town fire of 1889.  The building was purchased by C. A. Kettleson and later became Benhart Feed & Produce.  Both names still grace the front of the building. The James Benhart Estate donated the  building to the museum board in 1995 as they saw a need not only to preserve the building, but also as a place to store artifacts of historical importance to Oxford Junction.  Items on display include an Oxford hayloader and wagon box made by the Lasack Brothers & Co., original township records dating  back to 1855, war memorabilia, agricultural items manufactured in early Oxford Junction and many Czech artifacts such as clothing, documents, naturalization and baptism papers.  The museum has several sections show casing memorabilia from the schools, bank, military and Czech heritage, just to name a few.
