#23: Rock of Ages is a Glorified Quarry
Despite its grandiose name, Rock of Ages is a prominent quarry owned by a namesake company. It boasts the largest “deep hole” granite excavation, attracting those fascinated by its immense granite tiers and the vibrant azure waters that lie within. A comprehensive tour, lasting nearly an hour, reveals the inner workings of this industrial marvel.

The allure of Rock of Ages may not match the expectations set by its name, falling short of natural wonders like the Grand Canyon. The initial wonder may fade upon encountering the heavy machinery and diligent workers, grounding visitors back to its industrial reality.
