1 Railroad AveFor over 150 years, the Stony Creek Quarry in Branford, Connecticut, USA has served as the authentic source of Stony Creek Granite for hundreds of buildings, landscape projects, and iconic landmarks around the country including the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty, The Smithsonian, and Columbia University.
First will be a look into the past to view the cavernous quarry that yielded the world-
famous Stony Creek granite for historic projects.
Unk DaRos and Carl Balestracci, both quarry historians and descendants of quarrymen, will share stories of the quarry’s history. They’ll describe the lives and work of the quarrymen and the dangers they faced on a daily basis. At their peak around 1900, the quarries along the Branford-Guilford shoreline employed over 1800 men. Builders used Stony Creek granite for The West Point Battle Monument and the steps of Yale’s Woolsey Hall, as well as parts of the Brooklyn Bridge and Grant’s Tomb.
Next, those on tour will ride a shuttle up to the current quarry site that now provides “pink” granite to the country’s top architects.
Parking will be available inside the quarry gates. Directions to the quarry from the Guilford Green: Rt. 146 for 4.2 miles, right on Quarry Rd. (in Branford) to the end. Directions from Stony Creek: Rt. 146 for .6 miles, left on Quarry Rd. I’m going
