Stone Wall Post Card

This is a postcard created by Leslie Courtemanche in 2005,

showing a few of the stone walls found around Spring Pond in Salem and Peabody from the once old boundaries of the Trask Farm and Clifford/ Crowninshield/ Fay Estate.  There is a recent finding of stone walls in Lynn as well.

Stone walls root to stories of the past. These are artifacts from forbearers who tilled the rocky soils of the New World in an effort to survive and farm in a seldom good climate with unforgiving terrain.  Stone walls are a monument of the early settlers’ struggle to exist, and remain today a delight to onlookers who discover them in nature.
