Description

This photo of the Kelleys Island Lime & Transport Company's Northern quarry and buildings hangs in the Kelleys Island State Park's main office.

Context

The north side of the island was originally a bit more uninhabitable and harder to manage. The area contained many glacier grooves; most of which were quarried out. The Kelleys Island Lime & Transport Company set aside one of the last grooves for preservation. That groove is now locally managed by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Kelleys Island State Park. The north quarry closed its operations in 1924.
