Learn about the mountain's history in the granite industry
Quarry Exhibit
Open daily from dawn to dusk.

Quarry Exhibit  

This outdoor display was developed to tell the story of an industry that played a significant part in the history of Stone Mountain.  Throughout the years, 7,645,700 cubic feet of granite were removed from the mountain.  This is equal to one-foot-long paving stones stretching from the North Pole to the South Pole (12,444 miles)!

The exhibit also describes the process of granite quarrying at Stone Mountain and the changes in technology over time.  It illustrates the monumental contributions of the quarrymen and the industry at Stone Mountain. 

It is open daily from dawn until dusk.

Location: On Robert E. Lee Blvd., just prior to the roundabout near the Grist Mill.
