Rock of Ages Is Just a Quarry

With a name like "Rock of Ages," you might expect something a bit more extravagant. However, that's just the name of the company that owns the largest "deep hole" granite quarry. While there are many who might be interested in the process and workings of the quarry, as well as the sights with the tiered granite walls and famously bright blue water, you'd have to be seriously invested in going on the nearly hour-long tour of the facilities.

Rock of Ages is far from the prestige its name would suggest, as it's nothing like the Grand Canyon, for instance. Any excitement for the views will quickly wear off once you spot the machinery and quarry workers.
