Join HLF as we welcome back architectural historian Dan Pezzoni of Lexington’s Landmark Preservation Associates to present recent findings about local, likely indigenous, stoneworks that he’s been documenting and researching over the past several years. This well-illustrated presentation will focus on structure locales in Rockbridge County and environs, including Cole Mountain, North Mountain Gap, Petites Gap, and House Mountain.

As a reporter with the Rockbridge County News remarked in 1893 about the stone mound that once stood in North Mountain Gap, the structures have “always been wrapt in deep mystery.
