[MassHistPres] Stone Wall Surveys?

[Joseph S. Larson]

Dear Mr. Kotkin:

The town of Petersham has a complete map of its stone walls. It was done by 
a faculty member at Harvard University's Harvard Forest, which is located in 
Petersham. The map and background material on that project is on view at the 
Fisher Museum at the Forest Headquarters and is well worth a trip to see it. 
The project is part of a historic land use study of the town, and is a 
classic. If you plan to make the trip, Google Harvard Forest to get 
background material and call ahead to see if one of the staff members could 
be available to meet with you.
