Stone Walls and Seacoast Geology

  • 150 Daniel Street Carriage House Portsmouth, NH United States (map)

Join us at The Warner House in the new carriage house for a history and soup lecture by Sylvia Olson. Everywhere in New England, we see the stone walls winding through the forests, and the silent cellar holes, carefully lined with stones, and now filled with living trees. How did the early farmers make these walls, and why? Portsmouth resident, Sylvia Olson, will share about the techniques of quarrying stone from ledge and boulder, and the immense age and amazing geology of the New Hampshire seacoast region.

Our summer lecture series will take place the 3rd Wednesday of every Monday from June through October. Lectures start at 12pm with refreshments at 11:30. Reservations are highly encouraged as we have limited seating. Please email manager@warnerhouse.org or call 603-436-5909 to save a spot.
