Along with lighthouses, covered bridges, and white-steeped churches, New England stone walls are one of our region’s most enduring reminders of the past. They line country roads, border cemeteries, mark the edges of fields, and even snake through the woods — sometimes seemingly in the middle of nowhere. Here, we present a collection of images celebrating the beauty of New England stone walls in fall. All were submitted by our very talented readers.
