Showing the contributions of the quarrymen and their work, the Quarry Exhibit was designed to show visitors the process of granite quarrying at Stone Mountain. The granite quarries here were the first to be established in Georgia. The granite was shipped all over the world. Its destinations include Fort Knox Bullion Depository, the Panama Canal, the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, Lincoln Memorial, and many United States Post Offices. Really cool Outdoor Museum!
