Abandoned granite quarry in the Pine Mountain WMA in Groton, VT that I came upon while hiking. I later found out this was called the Benzie GraniteQuarry and that it was opened in 1896. In 1907, when the quarry was measured, it was about 200 by 175 feet and had a depth of 40 to 60 feet. The granite was carted 1 ½ miles to the cuttingshed at Groton was used for monuments and buildings. The granite was called “Vermont Blue,” being of a medium, very bluish gray color with a medium to fine texture. Examples of use of this granite are the Davison monument at Woodsville, New Hampshire, and the Dr. S. N. Eastman monument at Groton, Vermont.
