Well, 1 town done, 350 more to go! 😂 Since this was the first episode of many, I want to improve the series with each entry! What did you think of the format? Anything you would add or remove? What else should I cover in these towns I review? Any and all ideas and criticisms are welcome!
Nice work! Have you been to The Groton Hunt? Hiking trails in woods and along Nashua River and the site of a former Fox hunting grounds. So pretty cool old remnants from the hunt as well as memorials.
That sounds really cool-no, I have not personally been there! I am familiar with the Groton Hunt as they used to own Bancroft’s Castle, but I didn’t know that those remnants of trails still existed! Very cool!
@@j-mass Yes -- it is super cool. There's an old stone memorial bench, stone water trough, and a memorial/grave to one of the hunting horses that died in 1929 in the middle of the woods by the river. Definitely check it out!
Great video J-MASS, very interesting and informative. This is going to be a great series. Keep up the good the good work. Looking forward to the next 350 episodes ✌🏻🇺🇸
Great video man - really interesting and well put together. The drone footage was great and the editing was done really well. You piqued my interest enough that my daughter and I are planning a trip to Groton next month. Really well done brother, you just keep raising the bar. Looking forward to more of this video series.
Beautiful area! I particularly like the town of Harvard, with its many outdoor offerings and historic sites. Very good job on the script and editing. Definitely looking forward to more of your town videos 😀
Thank you so much, I appreciate that! I agree, I absolutely love Harvard as well! I can’t wait to cover the history of the Fruitlands and the transcendentalists movement there!
Groton sure is an interesting place with many notable events taking place there, as well as many notable and important people to Massachusetts, and all of the United States in general! Groton has seen much more conflict than other areas of Massachusetts as well as some economic depression. Yet it is very wealthy today! This is great see, I think this is sort of the spirit of Massachusetts in a way!
Good morning from Cape Cod 🦀 I must say you did one hell of a job reviewing Groton. There's such a rich and long history. I can't stress enough how much I enjoyed your review. Jason if ever you're heading to the cape to review something I would love to meet you and shake your hand, you're doing an absolutely fantastic job dude. Be safe out there ✌️🇺🇲
True, Groton has many gorgeous historical houses! At 3:05 you can see the Governor George S. Boutwell House, which is one of the most historically significant in the center of town!
@peterruddick1952 If you have a special interest in architecture and you're local to MA, you can visit Groton too! If you're not, there are likely additional resources online to discover more. I originally started following J-MASS as a way to get inspired and learn about places that I too could explore, some of which I have. I see his videos as an invitation and a tool to pique interest. Also, he's creating a condensed sampling of what each town has to offer; he can't possibly include it all in a 20 minute segment which has been filmed in 1-2 days, including epic drone footage. Plus, being the first one, it's already phenomenal and I'm sure we'll all be sticking around to see how the series evolves. Cheers!

Good job Jacob, i grew up in Pepperell and it was awesome to hear all the cool stuff about Groton. Id continue with the towns . 🤟
Wow dude, this video is excellent. It is well put together and clearly thought out! Cant wait for 350 more!!
Thank you so much man, I appreciate it! I definitely wanted to try something more “documentary-esque” here!
Great video J-MASS, very interesting and informative. This is going to be a great series. Keep up the good the good work. Looking forward to the next 350 episodes ✌🏻🇺🇸

recently moved to nearby Ayer- this video is extremely informative, and you clearly put lots of time into research and presentation. thank you
Thank you so much, I appreciate that!

I absolutely agree! In many ways, Groton is a quintessential Massachusetts town with its rich, storied history!
Let’s goooo the beginning! You’re getting good with that drone!
Ayy thanks so much dude! It’s fun flying it around!
Good morning from Cape Cod 🦀 I must say you did one hell of a job reviewing Groton. There's such a rich and long history. I can't stress enough how much I enjoyed your review. Jason if ever you're heading to the cape to review something I would love to meet you and shake your hand, you're doing an absolutely fantastic job dude. Be safe out there ✌️🇺🇲
Thank you so much man! Absolutely, I will let you know when I get down to the Cape next!
Good history lesson and visual coverage. Greetings from Worcester.
Thanks a ton! I’m excited to cover Worcester someday soon!
KING J-MASS! Love the video dude! Such a cool town
Thanks so much man!
Nice, you presented some new things I did not know about Groton. Job Shattuck was my 6th g-grandfather.
Wow, that’s awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Well done. Don’t know how you aren’t viral!!!
7:35 the drone shots really add the the video
Agreed! I love how the footage turned out!
Very cool
Dam, That Rock Reminds of Deed's Rock right now... 16:09
It’s definitely quite similar to that!
Got to do ayer next then devens!
I’ll absolutely be doing those ones soon! Devens will be an interesting village to cover with all of that military history!
We have a Bancroft Tower here in Worcester Massachusetts. Don’t know if the families were related.
I’ve been there a ton! Not sure if they are, but I always wondered that. May have to do some digging into that…
I'm watching the fuck out of this series
👍
After Massachusetts can you do this series for new Hampshire
I was definitely thinking of eventually covering some of the towns and cities in other New England states, like New Hampshire!
W video
Thanks! 🙌
Groton has many historical colonial homes... would like to have seen some of those and less pizza and mushrooms
True, Groton has many gorgeous historical houses! At 3:05 you can see the Governor George S. Boutwell House, which is one of the most historically significant in the center of town!

Wait so your going to every town in Massachusetts?
Yep, all 351 of them! I’ve personally been to 347 towns and cities on my own already, but I’ll be returning to document each one in this series.
FIRST!
Second! 😂
@@j-mass I'm already excited for this can't wait to see you come to Worcester!
