The woods is the last remnant on the Oxford Campus of a vast tract of forest that existed when Miami was founded in 1809.

George Washington is represented on the campus of Miami University in the form of a bronze statue made by William James Hubard of Richmond, Virginia. It is a copy of the original marble statue made by French sculptor, Jean Antoine Houdon.
