Oxford Town Hall
The Oxford
Town Hall is the next building which houses the Library on the lower floor and the
Senior Center in the meeting room. One of our famous residents, Stephen B. Church who was an inventor,
bequeathed close to one million dollars to the town to build a new town hall in
his name. He was born in 1866, and exhibited the first gasoline engines at
the Danbury Fair. He began the building and erection of wells operated by wind power
and progressed to drilling deep driven wells (artesian wells) which became
very popular for commercial and home use. The building is called the S. B. Church Memorial Town
Hall.
Also located on the grounds is the Gazebo which is the site
for the summer concert series and Kirk's Pond behind the Gazebo.
Continue on Rt. 67 for 1.1 miles to
Christian Street. The Josiah Twitchell House will be on
the corner. |
