Oxford #7 - The Oxford Picket

The 'Oxford Picket' as it is known graces many homes in the Oxford area. Nobody is quite sure who was the first to put up such a fence with its distinctive and exotic design -- the onion dome with center hole. Early photographs of the town show that the unique Oxford picket fence graced lawns in Oxford around the mid-1800s.

The quaint little seaport of Oxford is located on Maryland's Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay.
