Jones Road in North Blandford. The history is the street name was changed by a town meeting in 2000 from “Negro Hill Road” to “Jethro Jones Road”. Jethro was one of 45 African-Americans who served in the Continental Army during the American Revolution from Hampden county. Both 1800’s and 1900’s era cellar holes here, H O’Brien and D. Hill and a water trough. Climbing uphill along then called Wheeler Brook now Pixley Brook with views of Walnut Hill in Old North Blandford is such a beautiful old road.  Jones and others lived here, segregated from the rest of Blandford ass a small settlement.  Join us for our November 22nd hike here with the Blandford Historical Society to learn more about the Hilltown History…Keeping Hilltown History Alive!
