In 2012 The Association for the Preservation of Geneseo(APOG) launched a major multi-year project to restore a landmark of our Village. Restoration of the mile-long stone wall bordering the Wadsworth Homestead preserves the gateway to Geneseo’s Historic District. The Wall stretches from Crossett Road, down South Street/20A, and extends south on Route 39/20A. Thanks to community support, the Save the Wall campaign got off to a tremendous start!
Phase One (2012-2015) is complete and the project is half way done. Master Mason John White Sr. estimates that it will only take four more years to complete the wall restoration project. Congratulations all around. APOG, masons, and volunteers are ready to launch Phase Two of the project, but we cannot do this alone. We need your support. How can you help? Donations of time and money are necessary to continue this project.
Make a Donation
There are real and large costs associated with this effort. Professional masons need to be hired to train and oversee volunteers to ensure work is done properly and to complete sections requiring a master’s hand. Cement and tools also need to be purchased, not a small need for a mile long wall.
Be a Volunteer
Workdays begin on June 4 and run through September 24. Meet at the wall at 9am each Saturday and work with us until noon. There is work for all skill and age levels clearing brush, moving and cleaning stones, and rebuilding and sealing the wall. Donations of coffee, water and snacks for the volunteers are also appreciated.
