Quarry sign
- John Sumwalt/For Agri-View
The Montello Granite Quarry sign reads in part, ‘This Quarry was once Montello’s leading industry, with approximately 200 employees. It was recognized for the paving blocks covering streets in several cities, its crushed granite for various usages, and most of all for its beautiful hard monuments. The choosing of Grant’s Tomb from this quarry was made after 280 other samples from all around the world found Montello granite to be the strongest and finest.’
