Stone walls are an iconic landscape feature of New England. They once served a functional purpose, but today they are threads through time, defining the region’s historical identity. Leigh Schoberth, senior preservation services manager at Historic New England, will discuss the history of stone wall building in the region, and how to develop a framework for identifying different types of stone walls. Prior to joining Historic New England, Schoberth worked as the preservation policy associate for Preservation Society of Newport County and as a preservation professional for Knapp Architects. She has a BA in history from University of Michigan and an MS in historic preservation from Clemson University.
