Dried Laid Native Stone Prairie Fence

Posted by Preston Surface on October 21, 2008

Just north of Alma, KS a stone fence was created.  A portion of the existing stone fence was dismantled and then restored.  Over the next two years the remainder of the fence will be completed in two more training sessions.  Local land owners show up to learn how to effectively create a fence of stone.

  2. Hello Abby. Thank you for the compliment. I always enjoy watching an artesian at work as with the master stone mason who orchestrated this event. These folks put up a fine looking Prairie Fence.

    I understand Anna talked to you and I am in complete agreement with her. Together we can certainly share our appreciation of Kansas.

    You probably already know this but are you aware of galen frysinger in sheboygen wisc photos? his site is galenfrysinger.com click north america, kansas, ghost towns and you’ll find cedar point mill, the bridge and photos of many surrounding towns like matfield green, clements, elmdale, cassoday, chase county etc. Im hoping you visit Volland someday (It’s ne of alta vista) not enough room here to tell you of its lively history. also, just for the heck of it, the other great sites like yours is ghostsofnorthdakota.com, ohiobarns.com, sunflower pixels, and bridgehunter.com plan on spending the day with a good dog at your feet and several cups of hot tea. You wont want to leave. Let me know if you have any trouble getting to any of the sites. sara
