In our 2nd history talk of the 2025 season we take a look at the history of masonry work in New England. From foundations to fence posts; millstones to gravestones, the work of the Early American mason is still evident around us to this day. Come see examples of these works and learn about the tools and techniques that were used to create them. Dennis D. Picard has been a museum professional in the living history field for over forty years. In-person or Zoom.
