Halibut Point State Park is also a granite quarry with a history that goes back billions of years!

Over one hundred years ago, the Rockport Granite Company quarried granite stone here.

Learn about the buildings, bridges, and breakwaters built to last.

Touch tools of the trade.

Find out how they moved these large, heavy stone pieces and how they “paved” dirt streets in our new Nation’s growing cities—and around the world!

For all ages.
