At Midwest Stone Fence Post, we take pride in preserving and sharing a unique piece of history—authentic historical Kansas stone fence posts. As a small, family-owned business, we specialize in providing these timeless pieces, ensuring they continue to stand the test of time.
Stone has always been a part of my life. As a second-generation stone mason with 17 years of experience, I’ve spent my career shaping, restoring, and appreciating the durability and beauty of natural stone. My passion for this craft goes beyond just the work—it’s about honoring the history, craftsmanship, and legacy that each piece represents.
Our mission is to provide high-quality historical stone fence posts to those who value authenticity, longevity, and the character that only time can create. Whether you’re restoring a historic property, adding a touch of heritage to your landscape, or simply looking for a unique and lasting piece of history, we are here to help and look forward to sharing our passion with you. If you have any questions or are looking for something specific, feel free to reach out—we’d love to hear from you!
The Ancient Origin
Kansas Post Rock began in an ancient sea that once stretched across the Kansas plains. Over time, layers of shells and minerals settled and hardened into a dense, fossil-rich limestone.
The Pioneers
Between 1870 and 1930, early settlers arrived on the treeless prairies. With no timber to build with, they searched and discovered this unique layer of limestone. Using only hand drills and wedges, they hand-split the stone into the iconic fence posts and buildings that still stand today.
Today
Our Post Rock products come from the original Kansas Post Rock that was hand-split and set in Russell County over a century ago. They are a remnant of the rock that helped define the Kansas frontier.Â
