Oxford Orphanage in Oxford, North Carolina has a rich history dating back to 1873 when it was established by the Masons. Initially conceived as a school, the institution transitioned into an orphanage in 1873 under the leadership of John H. Mills. The orphanage aimed to provide a high-quality education and care for children, regardless of their background.

Throughout its history, the orphanage has been dedicated to the well-being of children in need, evolving over the years to meet changing demands. Renamed to Oxford Orphanage in 1923 and later to the Masonic Home for Children in 1994, the institution has continually adapted to better serve its residents. In 2000, a significant modernization initiative was launched to enhance services and facilities, including the construction of new, accessible cottages.
