    FP update 8/3 Montpellier & Barre, VT

    We took a walk around Montpelier, the Capital of VT. The Population is a mere 8,500 and it has the smallest State Capitol in the US. Visited A few Graveyards in the area that have very ornate headstones. Like race cars & soccer balls all with intricate details. The majority were made from granite which explains our visit to Rock of Ages.

    Rock Of Ages in Barre, VT - This is where most of the headstones are sculpted. The facility offers a tour of one of the natural wonders of the world. Only here can you witness the largest deep-hole quarry. The size of the quarry and the machines they use to mine the granite is mind-blowing! Only 13 men work in the actual quarry and from the viewing point of the quarry, the men look like ants 😁. The massiveness of this nestled in a small town in Vermont is something! Claims to be the deepest quarry.
