How long ago?  I don't think there are any marble quarries in Grafton, nor
any quarries.  There used to be granite quarries in West Dummerston but
that was way long ago, before I was born.  I think some Dummerston granite
was used to build some building in Washington, DC.  Ruth

What about Vermont Marble.  SOM used it on the Bieneke Library at Yale,
after a world search.  I think it was quarried in Grafton, but you can
contact the Vermont Structural Slate Co.

Best,
