Many Fences: the Work of Wendell Berry
By Dena Wortzel
Fences are something we often take for granted, yet in much of our countryside they are a defining feature of the landscape. Just imagine what rural Wisconsin would look like if all the fences suddenly disappeared. Between Fences, a Smithsonian exhibition that will be coming to Wisconsin, explores the history and cultural meaning of fences in the United States. It shows how the country as we know it simply could not have been settled or built without them.
