Watch Kevin Gardner build a miniature stone wall at HHS's
Annual Meeting on Thursday, October 19 at the Tuck Museum.
Gardner’s presentation,
Discovering New England Stone Walls, will take place following a short
annual meeting at 6:30 p.m. The program is offered through
New Hampshire Humanities.
While building a tabletop stone wall, Gardner will explain how and why New England came to have thousands of miles of stone walls, the ways in which they and other dry stone structures were built, how their styles emerged and changed over time, and their significance to the New England landscape.
Gardner is a writer, teacher, tradesman, and a lifelong resident of Hopkinton, NH. He has been a stone wall builder for 40 years, and is the author of
The Granite Kiss: Traditions and Techniques of Building New England Stone Walls, one of the select, definitive books about building stone walls in New England.
All are welcome to attend the annual meeting and the stone wall program. Refreshments will be served.
