Town Tours and Village Walks - Oxford Area Historical Association

The Oxford Area Historical Association invites you on a road journey of Dickey Family history in Oxford and the surrounding townships. For more than two centuries, the Dickey family made major contributions to the growth of southwestern Chester County. Onward from 1730, when the first Dickey arrived, they pioneered the use of improved farming methods, developed manufacturing centers, promoted modern transportation facilities, founded schools, a university, and led a host of social reform movements. Five members of the family became clergy, giving guidance to their neighbors. They set high standards for themselves as community leaders. This self-driving tour will guide you by Dickey homes and farms, mills, schools, Lincoln University and enterprises. Address: Driving tour starts at Oxford Area Historical Association, 119 S. Fifth Street, Oxford.
