Jones Homestead Believed to Be Oxford Area's Oldest House
The abandoned 19th century Jones homestead near Oxford sits in a woodlot off Highway 62, likely dating from the 1850s or earlier. Built by Jim Jones and his wife, it shows hand forged nails and square hand tools, preserved in a county where only the Trimble house in Packwaukee is older. Darwin MacFarlin of Oxford identifies the man in the photo.
