WHO WAS BOB JONES?
His name is on Southlake’s largest park, a road, and the city’s nature center and preserve. So who was he?
Learn the fascinating story of Bob Jones and his wife, Almeady Chisum Jones, at our current exhibit until Sept. 4 in Southlake Town Hall. Enslaved until the end of the Civil War, they overcame the challenges of a mixed-race heritage with integrity and hard work, earning the respect of all who knew them.
