'Stone Walls' At The Bedford Hills Historical Museum

BEDFORD HILLS, NY — It turns out these walls can talk and there is more to the stone walls that dot the countryside of the Hudson Valley and New England than meets the eye.

The Bedford Hills Historical Museum announced that Pound Ridge baker/author, Susan Allport will be giving a talk and slide show on "The Stone Walls of NY and New England."

The presentation will be held on Thursday, at 7:30 p.m. in the museum, located in the lower level of the Bedford Town House (321 Bedford Road, Bedford Hills.)

Attendees will be able to hear about the historic stone walls traversing the woods and fields of the region, with discussions of why they were built and how.

The organizers said "these walls, when we come upon them, certainly cause us to ponder their provenance and the lives of those people who lived and farmed in Bedford many years before us."

Copies of Allport’s "Sermons in Stone" will be available for sale.
