Why Rock Walls In New England Are A Historically Significant Treasure
By Connor Sullivan Published: 11/25/2009
Depending on where you live, there are various kinds of CT fencing used for different purposes. For example, if you reside in Arizona, mud based adobe like fencing walls are built more than wooden CT fences. In the Midwest traditional white picket fencing is used a lot, and in the southern states, like Kentucky where there are many horse farms, split rail white fences are the chosen favorite. Many of these are simply done by what is preferred in that area or what holds up best to the weather there as well. One type of fencing however, has some important history to it and that is a stone wall that can be found all over New England.
Stone walls may be seen on most properties in the following states in the Northeast: Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire and New York. A lot of these stone walls are located back and hidden in wooded areas of different properties and can not be seen by anyone. People that are interested in subjects such as history, science and their own property soon began researching these different stone walls that could be found in these states in New England.
There are considered to be thousands of segments of stone walls throughout the world with one of the largest being in New England. If you were to add up the length of all of the stone walls thought to be in New England it would probably reach all the way to the moon. One educated guess was that it was about 240,000 miles in length. The height of most of these stone walls is above the adult knee but lower than the hip typically reaching a height at about 2 feet so they were not very high. It is quite rare to see a stone wall that is higher than a couple of feet. Most of these walls were not made to be a kind of fence which is interesting as that is what it appears to be .
Most stone walls are just rocks that were balanced on top of the other without any type of sand holding it together. It is believed that they were originally formed by farmers that needed to clear the rocks from their land so they could use the land for growing. They would stack the rocks on the edge of their farm which eventually also acted as a property marker too . Most of these walls were built in the early 1600's with the majority of them being made between the time of the American Revolution and the Civil War.
The next time you are in some fo these New England states take a look around the edge of a property and you will most likely see a low stone wall that probably has been there for a very long time . It is a special part of the history of these states which no other type of fencing can claim.
