I was admiring a stone wall that bordered a listing of mine on Gallup Hill Road in Ledyard, when someone suggested I check out the stone walls that line the entrance to the Gallup Cemetery just down the road. Hard to believe I missed this for over 35 years! While admiring the stone walls, I realized I had found my photo for this blog's Photo Friday. I came home to do a little research on Gallup Hill Cemetery and then found myself researching the internet for "stone walls in New England". I learned about the <a href="http://www.stonewall.uconn.edu/aboutSWI.htm">Stone Wall Initiative</a> which promotes the appreciation, investigation, and conservation of stone walls in New England. I also learned that there are over 20,000 miles of stone walls left in Connecticut. An idea for a blog was born so watch for it soon! 9 application/xml false Gallup Cemetery in Ledyard CT Photo Friday in Eastern CT Stone Wall Initiative Stone Walls in CT Last Week's Eastern Connecticut Photo Friday Could Fatty the Squirrel predict the weather in Eastern CT? http://blog.ctrelocation.com/public/item/164715 Gallup Cemetery in Ledyard CT Directions and information about the Gallup Cemetery http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gallupfam/GallupHill.htm New England Stone Walls Photos of New England Stone Walls http://www.stonewalljack.com/photos.htm Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 ldavis false true false false true 205810 false false true false false false true 125800 blog blogsite/CTRelocation/web
