Stone Walls of New England

Archaeological geologist Robert Thorson of the University of Connecticut — author of several books on stone walls and the co-founder of the Stone Wall Initiative, which supports the appreciation and preservation of historic walls — will share his passion for these rocky works of art at this Westborough Historical Society program. His presentation will feature many photos of New England’s most interesting stone walls. Originally from the upper Midwest, Thorson spent time in Alaska and on the West Coast before arriving in New England in 1984. His lecture is sponsored by a grant from the Westborough Civic Club. Snow date: Monday, March 5,  7 p.m., Forbes Municipal Building Auditorium, 45 West Main St.
