EQUINUNK, PA — The Equinunk Historical Society will present a program on Friday, October 2 at 7 p.m. at the junction of Route 191 and Pine Mill Road. “Northern Pennsylvania Stonewall History: Tradition and Restoration,” developed by Ken Ely of Good Neighbor Walls, will focus on the history and styles of stonewalls of our area. Ely’s presentation will include a discussion of the geology of the region, the purposes and incentives for building the walls and a look at those who built them. Audience participation is encouraged. Slides will show old walls in the region, fallen structures, recently built walls and walls in various stages of completion. A sampling of the tools and equipment that are employed in stonewall construction—such as hammers, chisels, pry bars, measuring tapes and sticks, levels, knee pads, etc.—will be displayed. Call 570/224-6722.
