A wall built not for defense… but for revenge.
In 1852, Westminster, Massachusetts, farmer Edmund Proctor had had enough of his neighbor Farwell Morse—a fiery religious zealot who openly condemned Proctor for working on the Sabbath. Proctor’s answer? Build a massive colonial stone wall tall enough to block Morse’s view entirely. Join Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger as they walk alongside this towering “Spite Wall,” explore the feud that inspired it, and uncover why it still stands as one of New England’s strangest monuments to pettiness, pride… and pure spite.
