We consider three families of lattices on the oscillator group G, which is an almost nilpotent not completely solvable Lie group, giving rise to coverings G → Mk, 0 → Mk, π → Mk, π/2 for k∈ \Z. We show that the corresponding families of four dimensional solvmanifolds are not pairwise diffeomorphic and we compute their cohomology and minimal models. In particular, each manifold Mk, 0 is diffeomorphic to a Kodaira--Thurston manifold, i.e. a compact quotient S1 × \Heis3 (\R) /Γk where Γk is a lattice of the real three-dimensional Heisenberg group \Heis3 (\R). We summarize some geometric aspects of those compact spaces. In particular, we note that any Mk, 0 provides an example of a solvmanifold whose cohomology does not depend on the Lie algebra only and which admits many symplectic structures that are invariant by the group \R ×\Heis3 (\R) but not under the oscillator group G.
