Wow! We have some great high school athletes in our town!
Our football teams from both high schools won, the Lady
Bengals volleyball team won, Westwood's Lady Redhawks won 3 sets,
the Blythewood girls' golf team won, and the Westwood girls' tennis
team shut out their opponents. Way to go!
Did you Know...
The Blythewood Historical Society was formed in 2010.
The founded members included Frankie McLean, Margaret DuBard,
Karen Kuehner, Kem Smith, Wade Dorsey, Bob Wood and Gayle Bell.
In 4 short years they have done so much to preserve the
history of the town and should be congratulated. There is a
great website that features the Blythewood Timeline from the very
start. You will see many familiar names as you read about the
founding families, stores, farming, schools, churches, the railroad,
as well as the troops coming through Blythewood during the Civil
War. Type in Blythewood Timeline- Blythewood Historical
Society and have fun reading about our historic town, thanks to the
great work of many people at the Historical Society.
