Stone Walls of New England

Kevin Gardner, author of The Granite Kiss, and Traditions and Techniques of Building New England Stone Walls, will talk about the history of New England stone walls and also about their cultural significance. He will demonstrate the technique of how to build a stone wall using small stones and a table. For more than thirty years Mr. Gardner has been a stone wall builder in a family business widely known for traditional New England stonework, particularly for historic restoration of antique structures. He has also been a performance critic, feature writer, and producer for NH Public Radio as well as a professional actor, director, and teacher of theatre.
