The Oxford School is one of the oldest schools in
Kansas and operated from 1877-1955. The one-room
schoolhouse was originally located at 135th and Mission
Road and was moved in March 2003 to its present
location at Ironwoods Park. Great care was taken
to restore the schoolhouse to its original beauty with
historic accuracy.

The historic Oxford Schoolhouse is a participant in the
