Oxford, Ohio is a special place on the map. Home to Miami University, the four years you spend on this brick campus surrounded by cornfields are some of the best and most iconic years of your life. Nothing could capture these essential and memorable years like another iconic experience: "The Parent Trap." Premiering in 1998, the film became an instant classic to millennials and made Lindsay Lohan a star. While nothing could truly capture the unforgettable experience that is Miami, "The Parent Trap" comes close to representing the essence of love, honor and the great moments that make up our small town of Oxford.
