In October, seven individuals built a “stock” stone wall under the direction of a dry stone walling instructor on the property between the Nequasset Meeting House and the cemetery.

The wall is approximately 30 feet long and 5 and 1/2 feet high. It is truly a masterpiece and, because the seven wallers paid a tuition fee, there was no cost to the town. The wall will remain for centuries as a lasting tribute to their work.

There is a strong desire to continue the project and build a second wall of approximately 10 feet long. This section will be built of the same stone in the same fashion and create a natural opening between the Meeting House and the cemetery. We hope to build this second section in the spring of 2014.

In order to accomplish “Phase II” we will need community support.

Checks should be made out to the Woolwich Historical Society, referencing Stone Wall Phase II, and mailed to Barbara Richards, 369 Barley Neck Road, Woolwich ME 04579.
