For fifty years, the Hefner Museum has entertained and educated Oxford citizens, Miami University faculty and students, as well as K-12 students, teachers, relatives, and friends. If you like birds, visit the museum's Clark Lloyd Egg Case; perhaps you would be more interested in the "touch boxes," antique cedar chests containing antlers, fossils, and shells. You might also like to see how an Ohio naturalist from the nineteenth centry lived and worked.
