Built in 1908, the Oxford Community Mausoleum on the edge of Oxford, IN, is in sore need of restoration to preserve its historic status. Because there are few families still around, of those who are interred in the mausoleum, to help with upkeep after 100+ years, Oak Grove Township officials have taken ownership of the building. However, with extremely limited public funds, they are not able to address renovation needs. To save this unique building, a local fundraising effort has been started for tuckpointing of exterior walls, roof repairs, and interior renovation. Donations may be mailed to Oak Grove Township at PO Box 412, Oxford, Indiana 47971, or made online on the Benton Community Foundation website donor page (choose "other" Fund Name and then type in "Oxford mausoleum") at https://www.donate.bentoncf.org/
