Only here for the bowling

I can't remember how we found out about Rock of Ages having the rare granite bowling lane but it's worth the trip to check out and throw a few strikes. If you are navigating there via Google Maps, enter "Rock of Ages Visitor Center", as...More

Amazing

Hard to believe there are so many things made from granite. They have a nice gift shop and even a granite bowling alley.

An Interesting Tour at a Reasonable Fee

A Ten Dollar tour of one of the largest granite quarries in the Nation, it's a little off the beaten path, but signage should get your there with little or no effort. The visitors center ia a large building where you can buy tickets, enjoy...More

Monument plant alone is worth the stop

This is an interesting stop that is a bit out of the ordinary. Start in the visitor center for a quick and informative video, then hop on a small bus for a short ride to the working quarry. Our tour guide dispensed great information and...More

Disappointing!

We got to Rock of Ages just as the last bus to tour the quarry was leaving in the early afternoon. Times for quarry tours would have been very helpful on their website. The museum was outdated, mediocre and all about purchasing headstones. The only...More
