From the Owner: “We plan to list it in September for $275,000, but would love to find the right buyer and negotiate directly before then.”

Nancy grew up near Milton, and in recent years our whole family has loved becoming part of the community and taking on the very hands-on work of bringing the Jones House back to life.

“Whatever I may have experienced in America, at the hands of cruel taskmasters, yet I am unwilling to speak in any but respectful terms of the land of my birth. It is far from my wish to attempt to degrade America in the eyes of Britons. I love her institutions in the free states, her zeal for Christ; I bear no enmity even to the slaveholders, but regret their delusions; many I am aware are deeply sensible of the fault, but some I regret to say are not, and I could wish to open their eyes to their sin; may the period come when God shall wipe off this deep stain from her constitution, and may America soon be indeed the land of the free.” - Written by Moses Roper in A NARRATIVE OF THE ADVENTURES AND ESCAPE OF MOSES ROPER FROM AMERICAN SLAVERY, 1837
