Concert, ice cream social in Oxford Thursday
OXFORD – It’s time again for one of Oxford’s great annual summer traditions, the Oxford Historical Society’s (OHS) Ice Cream Social and Concert! The Oxford Community Band’s Summer Concert Series will be held Thursday, Aug. 6, at 7 p.m. at the OHS Depot-Museum. All are welcome to share in this wonderful social event of the season. There will be music, a raffle, ice-cream, and a photo exhibit by turn of the century Oxford photographer, St. John Morton.
The Oxford Community Band will set up outdoors, under the overhang of the authentic D. L. & W. railroad depot (built circa 1920) at 1 Depot Street. OHS President, Fred Lanfear anticipates being host to over 100 community members in attendance for this pleasurable hour of music. This summer, the band is under the direction of Francis Wilcox, with additional conducting by Kate Stopper. They will play marches, show tunes, overtures and novelty selections for the enjoyment of the Oxford community. As is the tradition with this summer performance, it will be accompanied by delicious ice-cream, sold at the olde fashioned price of five cents a bowl. Visiting Oxford Band alumni are encouraged to make themselves known to the band or bring an instrument and sit in. As always, the performance is FREE of charge.
The History Museum’s doors will be open with the “St. John Morton Photo Collection.” Featured are over 50 crystal clear, glass plate, framed photos taken of Oxford between the years 1899 – 1916. The last OHS meeting on June 9th featured speaker Henry Drexler, noted Norwich artist, who discovered the Morton photos in a barn. With the aide of a grant, the glass negatives were printed. Drexler donated this collection to the Chenango County Historical Society, of which this display is graciously on loan from. You will see ‘everyday Oxford scenes’ of people, farms, stores, the bluestone quarry and more as it was about a century ago. The pictures look so new, and the landmarks so recognizable, that they’re fascinating. This exhibit will be on display until September.
So pack up a blanket or folding chair so you can relax and enjoy this evening of music, ice cream, history and fun on the Depot’s lawn in comfort.
Oxford Historical Society is a private, non-profit educational and cultural organization. The Depot-Museum is open Thursdays, through Oct. 8, from 1 to 3 p.m. To read more about the OHS, visit: Museum.OxfordNY.com .
