Former Oxford Presbyterian Church is a historic church in Oxford, IN built in 1902.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a Presbyterian Church Building in 1984. The former church has been preserved as a community center and local history museum. It is being maintained by a group of volunteers and pays bills through donations and fundraisers. The upstairs museum is full of  historic pictures and memorabilia relating to Dan Patch, Oxford school, town, and residents of the past. The basement has a 200 year old wooden rug loom that is still being used to make rag rugs for sale in the crafts room along with many other handmade items.
