Dorset Quarry Review
On hot summer days the sight of dozens of families jumping, swimming, and basking in the sun around this massive swimming hole makes it one of the most wholesome and picturesque recreational spots in the United States. First mined in 1785, this is the oldest marble quarry in the United States. The popular area visible from Route 30 is actually just the lower quarry, and footpaths lead to the quiet upper quarry.
