A very interesting tour, even if you, as we, have no interest in tombstones. The factory tour is a walk through tour and that was informative but the visit by bus to the quarry was very interesting. Worth the trip!!
What a great tour. It is so interesting and amazing how close to the action you get to be. t is also a very laid back tour with no rushing or time restrictions.
Visited the Rock of Ages facility and quarry while visiting the area with my wife and daughters. A very nice tour of a very nice facility. The process of mining the granite and quarry site was interesting. The tour guide and staff were knowledgable, helpful and friendly. Make sure to also visit the Hope Cemetery in the area. It has...

If you are in this area this is a "must see". The tour guide, John, was excellent and we were very fortunate to see them move 3 separate 20 ton blocks out of the quarry.

What a great place to spend some time especially if you have children along. They can learn so much about how stone is quarried and cut. The sculpture process and different types of stone used for buildin and monuments
went with a fourth grade class - kids had a really good time... the cashier at the gift shop makes the most amazing handmade granite jewelry! Reasonably priced and I gave one to my mother whom loved it. My son and I played on the GRANITE BOWLING ALLEY in the back - great day !
We really had a great time on this tour and visiting the gift shop. I can't say enough about how nice everyone was. Our two grandchildren had never seen anything like this and because of that it was very educational.
Thoroughly enjoyed the narrated tour to the granite quarry. Our tour guide was excellent! Quite an amazing site, it is huge 600 feet deep, the deepest quarrel of its type in the world.
I originally had my doubts about stopping here, but I'm very glad we did.
I can see where someone might not be thrilled with the gift store...

Loved the bus ride up to the quarry. It was neat to watch the engravers putting things on the headstones in the factory. Hubby got to etch a tile with a Vermont maple leaf for us to take home as a souvenier.
