Marble Quarrying
From its place of hiding beneath the voluptuous rounded hills of Vermont comes a harvest of the earth which is admired the world over. Vermont marble, built into great structures by the architect or shaped by the sculptor's chisel, reflects the strength and the nobility that is New England.
