If you went looking for a bunch of guys building stone walls you probably wouldn’t start under an old barn, but that’s where you would have found them today in Dummerston, Vermont. The former milking parlor at Scott Farm has been transformed into a top-notch training and testing site. Eight wallers from as far north as Minnesota and as far south as North Carolina were taking their Level 1 and 2, Dry Stone Walling Association of Great Britain, certification tests.

Thanks to the vision and hard work of Jared F. and other volunteers, the first test day in the new facility was a great success. Michael W. and I served as examiners for Dan G., Peter W., Daniel P., Joshua B., Bill B., Mark J., Dale M., and T.J. M.’s stints. The next session is scheduled for October 23 when Dave G. from Scotland will be the guest examiner.
