About this Event

Why are we so fascinated with stone walls? Kevin Gardner, author of TheĀ Granite Kiss, explains how and why New England came to acquire its thousands of miles of stone walls, the ways that 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.
