Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum

The entrance to the museum via the Oxfordshire Museum.

Soldiers of Oxfordshire Museum (SOFO Museum) is a military museum in the town of Woodstock, Oxfordshire, England, north of Oxford.[1][2] The museum is on the edge of the Cotswolds.[3]

The £3.2 million museum was opened by the Princess Royal in 2014.[4] The museum was created to honour soldiers from Oxfordshire regiments and present their history.

The SOFO Museum is located in the grounds of the Oxfordshire Museum, with access through the entrance of that museum.[5] Despite the proximity, it is however a separately run museum.
