GILMANTON IRON WORKS — Why are we so fascinated with stone walls? On Tuesday, Sept. 27, Kevin Gardner 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 by building a miniature wall on a tabletop, using small stones from a five-gallon bucket.
The program, at Old Town Hall on Route 140, begins at 7:30 p.m. Social hour and refreshments begin at 7 p.m. This is the final program in the Society’s 2022 summer series.
