WWHS Program: Stonewalls, Cellarholes, and the Forest: reading the land to understand the past

  • West Windsor Historical Society 1023 Vermont 44 Brownsville, VT, 05037 United States (map)

Walk through the forest and you’ll see stonewalls, cellarholes, and clues to past use that you may not even notice. Have you ever wondered about the ways your land or the land around you was used in the past? Agriculture? Sheep? Logging? Or perhaps all of these in different eras. This program will draw on materials developed by the renowned Tom Wessels and others from the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources to give you pointers in how to read the landscape around you and find hints from the past that tell a story.
