Professor Thorson will be presenting
an overview of New England’s historic stone walls, explaining why they are the
signature landforms of the region, and why they convey to us such a visceral
sense of place.

 

Questions such as: What is the oldest documented stone wall in
New England?  When were most stone walls
built, and by whom? Why is New England so rich in historic stone walls, whereas
other regions usually lack them? These questions and more will be answered by
Dr. Thorson. 

 

If you own any of Dr.Thorson’s books including “Stone by Stone”,
or “Exploring Stone Walls” please feel free to bring them along to be signed.
