It used to be in some places. But it's not allowed now. The 8th amendment forbids cruel and unusual punishment. So even if it was still on some New England law book - and I'd guess that somewhere it is - it can't be enforced.

No, stoning is not allowed in America. The practice of stoning is not legal under the laws of the United States and would be considered a form of cruel and unusual punishment, which is prohibited by the Eighth Amendment to the US Constitution.
