Discovering New England Stone Walls
Why are we so fascinated with stone walls?
Kevin Gardner,
author of The Granite Kiss,
explains how and why New England
came to acquire its 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 famous
New England landscape.
Along the way, Kevin occupies himself
building a miniature wall or walls on a
tabletop, using tiny stones from a
five-gallon bucket.
