[MassHistPres] 1820 Fence Style Question

[Bourdon, Paul]

Hi,
We use to own an 1810 federal. I built a fence based on a fence at Sturbridge Village. There are a number of examples there based on documentary and physical evidence that might be appropriate. It is a great resource. I am sure a real carpenter could easily re-create any one of these.
