You are standing in a large granite quarry where “green” stone was cut.
As you explore this area you can find the remains of three wooden derricks, an engine house and "tugger" winch (1893) which retracted a rail car from the end of an extensive quarry dump.
These workers are standing on an area that is now covered with water. (Collection of Conway Historical Society)
Parts of two derricks are visible within the quarry hole while the third, "stiff-leg" derrick was higher up in the back southeast corner of the quarry.
These workers are removing large stone blocks from the quarry face. They used pneumatic air drills to cut small holes into the stone, which will later be filled with wedges to split the rock along the natural grain of the stone. (Collection of Elaine Desjardins)
