Granite Kiss, Discovering New England Stone Walls





March 22, 2015
2 pm 
at History Hall  



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.
