Every spring and fall, about 15 people get together to build fences out of native limestone in Wabaunsee County. They also build friendships. The group has become like a band of brothers and sisters, Chuck Kidd told The Capital-Journal. Kidd is among participants in biannual workshops the Native Stone Scenic Byway Committee has held since 2007 to teach people how to preserve the heritage of the area’s historic stone fences. For three days each spring and fall, Rocky Slaymaker trains participants on how to build and preserve those fences. They also work at each session on a specific project to create or reinforce a stone fence while stacking the rocks like pieces in a puzzle.
