Quarry Site

Years of extraction at the Rock of Ages quarry have created the largest and deepest monumental granite quarry in the world. It is 450 feet deep, 550 feet wide and a quarter-mile long. The top opening spans 27 acres. The first picture is a cage that they are lowered into the quarry in. The last two pictures show the drilling marks that dynamite is set off in.
