History of Roger's Grove
An admired teacher and businessman, Roger Jones was dedicated to the Longmont community. He and his wife, Roberta, also a teacher, proudly participated in Longmont's cultural development during their 50 years as residents.
Roger and Roberta walked along the St. Vrain River nearly every day, wishing everyone could share the beauty of Longmont's open spaces. In 1989, Jones established an estate to honor his wife and preserve the area for generations to come. Roger Jones passed away in 1995, but his
spirit still lives with us as we celebrate the annual "Rhythm on the River" festival in Roger's Grove.
It is through the generous contributions of the Roger and Roberta Jones Foundation that Roger's Grove grows today.
