2025 Drystone Fence Construction: Introductory Workshop
October 18-19, 2025 | 8:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. each day
Shaker Village is home to one of Kentucky's largest and most accessible collections of historic, dry stacked stone fences. You are invited to join the Drystone Conservancy for this two-day workshop to learn how to care for and repair these remarkable pieces of Kentucky culture.
Introductory Workshops through the Drystone Conservancy are designed for drystone enthusiasts with little to no previous experience who would like to gain a basic understanding of dry stone construction techniques. The pace will be comfortable and participants will learn the fundamental skills needed to build and repair a typical rock fence or retaining wall.
Program fee includes one complimentary admission to Shaker Village and one voucher redeemable for 20% off dining at The Trustees’ Table (excluding alcoholic beverages). Dining reservations recommended to assure availability: call 859.734.5411.
This program is intended for ages 18 and up.
