Bantam Stone Fence 2009
Built on a corner facing Route 202, this historical fence has been hit by automobiles many times since being built around 1900. The story is that a longterm renter in the one-time inn paid his bar bill and board by splitting and installing this granite fence. The extreme left section has been hit again in Feb. 2013. We bedded this section on a foot of 3/4" trap rock.
