Candice - I can tell you what it is, but not where it was. The Town Farm would have been the poor farm - also called almshouse, poorhouse. I'm surprised the town historian wouldn't have known about it. There should be some mention of it in the town records of that date. Most towns had an overseer of the poor. Blackstone is a pretty small place, so maybe a there is a section of the Town Cemetery that was used to bury the residents of the poorfarm. Otherwise, maybe there was a cemetery on the grounds of the poorfarm. The town clerk issues the burial permits, so you could ask if they have them that far back, or ask if there is a Town Cemetery. There is a Farm Street in Blackstone, so maybe the poor farm was in that area. Hope someone else on the list will know the answer.
